Rain!

Following on from the last post about how important water is, last week there was some welcome rain for the garden. It may seen to us that it wasn't long since it had rained but plants grow best if the soil has a top up of rain every 2-3 weeks.

At the moment the weather is tempting out the butterflies in the garden, though there are still very few of them around compared to some other years. This morning a speckled wood and small white were flying in the garden, with many bees finding nectar in the raised bed.
