Odd thing where a clump of crocosmia (I think) suddenly died off here but the foxglove seedlings are loving it. Not enough drainage maybe? 
The crocosmia suddenly going brown coincided with a) me moving the birch pot one side it; b) me feeding the climbers other side of it--tomato feed, I think, but *possibly* liquid seaweed as an experiment; c) some heavy rain.
There's a dip in the ground there, which is already the low point of the garden, so the feed for the climbers did run that way. I'm wondering if it's a bit of a sump and the foxgloves have been fine with that, but the crocosmia have felt overfed and/or overwatered.
Today in #Rakesden...
Two baker's dozen foxglove seedlings potted up from that corner of Undercherry, and still plenty left in the ground. Half of the round pots in the high security wing, half left out here. Will see how they do and think about positioning them around the garden if they grow big.
Curious what this beastie was on the achillea, I left it as possible predator. Looks like a common red soldier beetle from online pics so I think I made the right call.
The cutest bee.
Such smol. But so hunger.
She escape the close up.
Common carder bee, I think.
