The mouse was back today feeding on sunflower seeds that have fallen from the feeder.He has moved to the Butterfly Bush end of the right border.
I want to plant my signature plant today. At Hampsons I found a perennial Astrantia Major which is what flower adorns the top of the Blog page. The colour on the packet is pink, but still the recognisable pin cushion flowers.
Snappys garden will have an Astrantia Major I hope flowering in the summer!
