Insect life was particularly noticeable this week in the garden. Ladybirds feasted on blackfly, so helping our plants to survive.

Bees were everywhere, enjoying the echiums, borage and phacelia, and pollinating our veg as well.

Some of the phacelia has finished flowering, and is being removed to make room for sweetcorn.

We have experienced some irritating vandalism since last week's efforts with the bean poles - one of the wigwams was pulled up and left lying near the plot. So we hope we have fixed them in even more firmly this time around.
