It is becoming rather predictable to mention the effects of this unpredictable spring and summer. The Peonies in our garden have produced their usual lush green foliage but this year only one bloom and it is late compared to previous years.
Yet, for us in our garden, the Sweet Pea’s are much earlier producing an abundance of fragrant flowers (these are a few wind blown casualties we rescued for indoors).
I wonder what July has in-store for us?
It may well be confusing for the plants…but it isn’t much better for us humans!
Day 1, Light slacks and shirt. Day 2, Thick Fleece and heavier trousers. Day 3, Waterproof jacket and trousers plus hat. Day 4 (today) Shorts and T-shirt and Boy! is it Hot.
…….perhaps it will be snow tomorrow?
30th June
