What are we doing in the garden 2026
Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me . Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.

Late afternoon visit from a Sparrowhawk which looks like a new young male, no bigger than a Collared Dove. Fortunately it didn't catch anything.
