The Council chopped up a big fallen tree that was blocking a path where we walk the dogs. The next day there must have been 500 Wasps getting the Sap that was oozing out of the cut ends of the trunk and main branches. A few days later and there were still a few Wasps there this morning.

I've gone envy green. Despite care and love other than fruit trees everything slow in my garden. Was put in late though.

Sun flower has actually got bigger, so much so, I’ve added a fence plank to support the weight of the head.

Dark green now.
Please keep some seeds for me for next year. My tall ones didn't even grow. Where are you based roughly? North or south?

Thank you. Was late planting due to illness so am living with the consequences.
Never mind, always next year. Off to research plants for hot dry weather. Who'd have thought we'd be doing that in the midlands.
