Flaming June

Okay not quite flaming but the fact that we have actually had a bit of warm weather this month has allowed the garden to flourish. 
My June mood board

Iceberg and dog roses, mock orange, loosestrife, geraniums, peony, cotoneaster, fennel, alchemilla mollis, lemon balm, marjoram, saxifraga, petunia, honeysuckle, pansy, lavender, 
comfrey

There was no foraging around this time, the garden was very generous. It's this time of year that all comes good and you remember why you fell in love with it in the first place. I only have time for a few photos this month as today has seen me going on a mysterious mooch - more on that next time - so with a fond farewell it's goodbye to June.







Roll on July!

  3. Isn't it great when you don't have to forage to find some colour to fill the vases around the home! It was such a warm day wasn't it? I feel all out of sorts now that there wasn't the usual squelching through mud!! Have a great week (I can't believe it's July tomorrow!). Chel x

  7. Oh if your garden is full of those flowers, Jane, it must be lovely! Fingers crossed for a bit more sunshine as I am camping at the weekend. (Foolish woman, I am too old to be camping!!)

  9. Your flowers are absolutely beautiful. The flowers in the last shot would be my ideal Wedding bouquet - hand-picked, summery, just lovely. Mel x

    1. Hi Chrissie
      We have made fertiliser with it before and used it to line the bottom of the potato trench when we had an allotment but now, sigh, our garden is too small :( x

  12. Your garden is doing beautifully. The weather is crazy, it's feast or famine around here, right now we're sweltering that wasn't the case two weeks ago. Oh well.

  14. Hi Jane!

    Lovely to find your blog... What's the Yellow flower called - at the bottom of your top photo? We get them in the garden every year & I've never known. There's another photo of it just above the photo with 'Roll On July' under it.

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Lisa
      I think it's called loosestrife - at least that's what I call it! Lovely to meet you x Jane
