I just read in the RHS magazine that bee numbers are up. It certainly seems to be the case in my garden. Now the echinops are in full bloom there are masses of bees and hover flies busying about them.
Still no rain here - in spite of substantial cloud-bursts round and about. I can really recommend Maidenhead to people who are not so keen on rain!
Having developed my small urban garden from what started, 25 years ago, as a vegetable patch, it gives me such pleasure I want to share it....

Small Garden Story
Over some 15 + years, I have been photographing the evolution of my small (85 x 15 foot) garden and it seems a waste not to put these records into some sort of context. Beginning here in April 2010 this Blog is intended to both act as a diary and to share past and present successes (and some failures), pleasures and disappointments with fellow garden-lovers. In due course, I intend to fill in some of the background and early days but that will have to wait until the winter months!
HI Sue, The bees here in Califorina have been busy in our bird bath collecting water. I luv to wath them work in the garden. Have a great Sunday...Julian
