Monday 22nd May 2017

Very warm and sunny all day.
Had a go at light gardening duties today. Planted out various varieties of marigolds in the sunflower border and in the sensory garden. Plants I have brought on myself, seed sown end of March.
Slugs and snails will be the problem now.
Still have 90 sunflower plants to plant out, a steady job for the rest of the week.
               Trail camera set in the bird food store to confirm for sure it is a rat that is causing havoc. This morning all my plastic seed trays were spread across the floor, one of my propagaters I have never used chewed to bits so enough is enough.
Despite the warm weather there was no sign of swifts today, think it is going to be another disappointing year?
The young pied wagtails continue to be fed on the lawn, the great spotted woodpecker still taking away mouthfuls of fat. Good to see a yellow brimstone flying about today plus a speckled wood. Still plenty going on in the garden.
