I was meant to have driven home today but life got in the way. Instead I spent some money and bought two new lavender plants for the front door pots. I also bought some old fashioned cottage pinks to do a little gap filling and then Ben and I had a happy few hours in the Magic Garden together.

I put out fresh prayer flags too as the old ones are just worn through - there are now three generations of them across the garden.

I pruned out some of the woodier bits of the spirea now its finished flowering and I’ve taken some cuttings to see if I can propagate it. They are all wrapped up in a plastic bag.
