I have at last finished removing all the rubble, crap and debris from the back garden, installed a new table and potted up my annuals. All I need to do in there is distribute the horse manure onto the veggie patches, put in the beans when they sprout and then start on the front bit.

In bloom, including the annuals I potted up last week: Arum lily, pyrocantha (firethorn), bastard service tree, robena tree, dogwood, campanula, the odd lobelia, red, white and peach roses, yellow flag iris, some very late violets and clematis, and the gazanias are about to burst forth.

The tit saga continues... I saw all three tit varieties this morning but as of 5 minutes ago, I notice someone else's cat is in the privet bush, so I suspect that nest has been raided and eaten. My pussies are all in various somnolent postures about the house.
