Elephant Planting

Through yesterday and today I’ve finally finished planting containers with the compost I ordered a few weeks ago. These terracotta pachyderms each contain a different variety of thyme. It took longer than I intended. The legs are hollow so keeping the compost from leaking out is a challenge. And I kept getting distracted by the garden wildlife.

Three extras. A Comma butterfly on the sweet William. A Small White butterfly on the lavender hedge - it’s really being enjoyed by lots of bumblebees, a butterfly is unusual. And grey clouds building, another storm coming.
