Day 74 had a bit of a surprise for us. The clatter of hail. The header image shows the hail amongst the Runner Beans. Lettuce and Courgettes. After all the scorching days we have had it was a bit of a surprise to get several sessions of hail during the day. It doesn’t seem to…

A study in Pinks. These rain soaked Pinks (Dianthus) are new for this series and new for our garden. There are a lot of buds just waiting to bloom. COVID-19 has made it a little more difficult to get the plants we have wanted after having the front garden landscaped early in the year. A…
