Time for a quick catch up as I've been busy coming and going with hospital, travelling and other things and while all that's been happening the garden has suddenly burst into full bloom and is brimming with so much colour. So many plants have come to life again, I can't keep up with them all at the moment.
We spent a sunny weekend updating all the pots and baskets with summer plants and general tidying and then simply enjoyed it all with a long awaited barbeque. The borders seem to have sprung into growth over the last week or two, full of poppies, geums, wallflowers, salvia, lupins and foxgloves. The roses have started to bloom and the pond is looking colourful - full of tall yellow irises at the moment.
It's one of the prettiest months in the garden and a time to enjoy it to the full now we've reached summer and the longer days. It's such a pleasure and so uplifting to be outside and a time to relax, slow down and enjoy it all.
