Despite the hot weather I feel the garden is still looking excellent. The team have been busy watering, feeding and dead heading. By doing this, we are not only extending the flowering period for as long as possible, but it means the garden is full of bees, butterflies, moths and lots of other insects, and this means that the garden is full of birds, bats, frogs and hedgehogs because of all the natural food available because of all the flowers. Happy Gardening, John
