Flaming June (?)

It is so cold here that I am seriously thinking about getting my vests out again. Last night, after a brilliant day out, at Dungeness, we came home and lit our fire!!!
But things march on in the garden. It is hard to believe we are just 20 days from mid-summer.
In our own garden there are new things to see and hear every day.
A baby rabbit has taken up residence in our front garden....not too happy about that but short of borrowing a gun......

These alliums were half price in the autumn.

                                            The new rose complements the alliums so well.

The wind has blown quite a few foxglove spikes over but they make 
great architectural floral arrangements.


Pansies and wallflowers are hanging on in a blast of glory.












Roses are just starting to show.


Poppies.....

....clematis.....
 

......delphinium, verbascum....
.....and irises.

The veggie beds are really getting going after a very slow start.





And finally the wisteria on the shed is hanging on despite the usual heavy winds.

Actually you can`t see much of the shed any more.

 Good job we can`t see inside as it needs a good clear out.

Now it`s 3 layers on, to venture out and plant the last of my bedding.

    I can't believe all your amazing flowers and your thriving veg patch!
    Also hard to believe you were feeling the cold while I was getting sunburnt!

    1. It looks ok but we have had lots of trouble germinating peas, beans and sweetcorn.
