Today was gloriously sunny but still chilly. I spent a lot of it outside sitting in the Magic Garden but I did some practical things too .I rearranged the patio, moving the cold frame on to it and tidying up. I inspected the progress of my broccoli and with a few signs of slug damage I have added copper collars.

I spent quite a while just sitting & watching the birds on the feeders before planting out three more meconopsis poppies under the old star jasmine.

I’m rather proud of my photograph of a bee in a hellebore flower even if it doesn’t get the whole bee in focus.
