end of July 2022

my friendly fox, within a couple minutes that bowl was licked clean 

Rocky with the catnip (Nepeta cataria) I grew from seed

purple loosestrife with bee

heleniums with a bee

the bees are loving the globe thistles, they've been great as they survived the drought and heatwave with no watering

the heleniums are looking good and the bees are visiting but they're in pots so I have to water them

I had a few evening primrose that had self-seeded so put them all together in a pot (some were larger than others) and the next day one bloomed

hollyhocks blooming but they're all white and pink, I have been watering them a bit as they're newly planted out but they shouldn't need watering once they're established

bowl of water out for birds and insects but haven't seen either visiting it

Scarecrow on the right, this is in my neighbour's garden, he often goes with me if I go over to water or photograph
