A wonderful sound I heard in the garden this morning while eating breakfast outside, “tap tap tap”, I quietly looked around and saw a young thrush under an old rose bush, breaking snail shells on some stones, wish I could have taken a photo but he went before I could get my camera.
We have had a busy time trying to make the garden look presentable for the visit from the West Midlands Iris Group this week, all went well and they seemed to enjoy the visit. The ground is so dry and plants are dying. We did have a bit of rain last night, lasted less than a minute so no help to the poor plants, here’s hoping the predicted rain for Saturday does come. We have had no rain since the middle of May and the water butts emptied long ago so it is several hours spent each day with watering cans and Seven Trent water. Just on the most needy, mostly the veg and in the greenhouses. a similar situation for thousands of people this year.
Despite the weather we are still getting a good harvest from some things, 
Cauliflower
That’s tea sorted!!
