I did a bunch more trimming of the borage, cutting down to the next flower buds on the stalks. It’s hot working in the sun wearing my hoodie and a glove for protection, but I carried on doing horrid weeding, taking care of nettles, brambles and poppy seed heads.

The sunflowers have done very well, so I made sure to get a record of them. I’d like to do a better job of successional sowing with them next year, so they last even longer.

In the end it was too hot to do any further pond fixing, or even to come back in the afternoon. The water level is clearly still dropping, so I imagine the tape just isn’t up to the job.
