Look who was hiding in the garden today!!
A nice big toad, who was in a box of broken crocks, he was a bit shy.
It was very close to the pond and the area is very overgrown with long grass so he may well have other friends living nearby.
The broken crocks (pieces of terracotta pots) go into the bug h
otel to provide lots of different habitats for bugs and insects, which are good for the garden, and interesting to look at.
These sunflowers were started off indoors by K. Now they have grown tall, they need to go out into a larger pot. K enjoyed getting the pot ready and settling the sunflowers into their new pot. She was also very happy to see the toad, as she loves wildlife, and after I was brave enough to pick it up for her to hold, I was rewarded with these:
A little sprig of buttercups. It's a touching thing to be given a gift by K, even if I did have to touch a toad!
The grass in the sensory garden is growing and growing, and the raised beds are getting lost. The turf in the beds has been dug and turned upside-down, which should mean the grass dies off and composts.
Now all the beds need is a good thick layer of compost or manure and they will be ready to plant up.
