Despite the distinct lack of proper rain in our area – (literally none in weeks) our garden is buzzing and blooming. As I wait patiently (well, trying) for our sweet peas, vegetables and other cut flower plants to grow and flourish out in the back garden, I thought it would be nice to share some photos from the front garden this month.
We have a shingle garden with raised borders and self-seeded planting in the stones. What started off as six verbena and valerian plants is now a sea of white (in spring) and purple (in summer) bobbing on the breeze.
The nigella is just coming into flower, it has multiplied rapidly and really needs to be moved further back but I will do that for next spring and plant some shorter plants in the front. I cannot wait to collect up all the beautiful seed heads.
Everlasting sweet peas, santolina, geums and aquilegia are all dancing together and falling about the place.
I love how these little guys have their faces all raised to the sun, pretty soon they will all be opening up into joyful yellow pompoms.
