More frogspawn than in previous years. I culled about 40 of the biggest great pond snails. There are still plenty. I’ll try to keep moving them away from the spawn.

First tablespoonful seen this morning. More at midday. Lovely sunny afternoon. Quite a lot of frog activity.

I’ve never cut back the Miscanthus in the past, even though it’s said to be deciduous and very much obscures the Helleborus ‘Harvington Pink’ at this time of the year. Let’s hope it recovers well.
