The Garden Year: July 2023

June was definitely a good month weather wise - and a good month to enjoy our garden. The roses have been fantastic and it’s said that they’re better for the cold and then wet winter which has meant they had a complete rest and then there were less bugs around than normal. Who knows, it sounds plausible - but either way we’re enjoying a bumper flowering of roses on our patio.

In our garden it’s been about maintaining the status quo, and enjoying the flowers. First the roses came (and came), then the purple clematis, the hydrangeas started as did the sweet peas, and then boom the jasmine. It’s scent is amazing - and still reminds me of balmy evenings on holiday in Seville many years ago.

I’ve still plenty of photos to share from Gardeners’ World Live, but am slower than ever following my operation so please bear with me. Plus I’ll have something new to share really soon, so please hang around for that.

Have a good month enjoying whatever you have planned in your garden and those you visit.
