Summer has arrived and there is much to see! Fabulous long sunny days and cooling sea breezes, and the odd (so far) tip of rain, make for a potent stimulant to growth. My seaside garden has filled with blooms, intense colours and sweet perfumes. It’s a pleasure to wander around with a morning coffee to see what has opened overnight.
It’s all spinning by so fast. The strawberry moon and summer solstice have already been and gone, and June’s first flush of roses have started to fade. With some enthusiastic deadheading, we’ll get another blast of colour soon. But for now, what could be better than this show?
The self-seeded poppies just keep going, growing where they please. Despite their delicacy, they manage to survive in this difficult terrain, as do the ubiquitous nasturtiums. Their pop of colour is a testament to summer’s vibrancy.
