Today was good, a light breeze to make it easier to work and we now have seven full bags of garden rubbish waiting for a trip to the tip. Everything is bulking up nicely with hardy geraniums starting to flower along with the iris sibirica (?) and one beautiful pale blue flag iris blooming in glorious isolated splendour on the path up the hill. I've photographed that one since it might be the only flower from that clump this year as I kind of moved it earlier in the spring and I'm not sure it was the right time to do that.
The body count is growing in the beer traps, but no slugs as yet. A few snails, flies and a couple of woodlice so maybe it's the snails who've been chomping on my beans. I've planted more bean seeds and have extra plants ready to fill gaps if needed.
I'm hoping for rain tonight so I can have a day off tomorrow!
