Phew!

At last the fence is complete. Annie and Gavin put in the last section a couple of weeks ago, and were glad to hear a surprising number of appreciative comments from passers-by as they did so.

But while the garden is now protected from less appreciative passers-by (and their dogs), it's suffering from the hot dry summer. Several of the hedging plants look to be on their last legs, and even the rampant red dead-nettle is starting to look tired.
