everything is scorched here...

We have had rain at least once or twice a week since early May... and temps just touching 24 on a hot day. Not the best of summers.

and i don't remember when we last had below 30... maybe in the beginning of june?

[curiouswombat]

We should swap for a few days!

Oh, your garden is always so colorful. I love that galvanized bucket of blooms. What a brilliant idea!

Thank you - and I am really pleased with that, I thought hanging it on the rail would keep the slugs out of it, and it has worked very well!

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Two questions: what are the rock-looking things in what seems to be a bird feeder of some sort in the fourth photo, and have you had any issues with weeds coming up in the gravel?

[curiouswombat]

Those are fat balls. Although, as they are the cheaper version because they were on offer, they have fewer obvious seeds in them - and the birds are not terribly impressed - but I reckon there's enough other stuff around at the moment so they can just cope

Lovely flowers!

[curiouswombat]

Thank you!

You have such a pretty garden!

I am very happy either sitting out there, of just sitting in the conservatory/sun room, with windows all around where I feel as if I am out there even on cold days.
