Suddenly it's June - lavender is turning colour and the roses are flowering and every plant it vying for space, expanding by the minute, in a bid to conquer the world or a least the garden. Our sheltering hedge of Oleria Davidi has been rather too successful in its bid, until when we sat on the terrace the view of the hedge was terrific with very little else. Action was needed and so today with a neighbour armed with loppers, we set to work and those heaps formed again but by this evening the first section was completed and we basked for a few moments in the sunshine AND a view!

I think rampant is the word for early summer growth! I love seaside mist, nature having a freshen up.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed a day out yesterday, but it was shopping for household replacements, i.e., new good quality milk pan; large, difficult to source round here. Oldrids on the A1, a huge store came up trumps, and a good lunch to go with it. Had a job dragging myself out of the garden dept. though. I'm after a Quince tree for autumn planting; at present I have to buy them in to make jelly which is scrumtious.
Your echium looks vast and floriferous. Fabbo!

Glad you got that day out pats - our German guest have a great saying "it is good to change the wallpaper!" even if only for a few short hours.The idea of the Quince tree sounds charming we only have a Loquat which looks gorgeous but does nothing - well maybe it sheds the odd leaf or dozen! I wonder if our echium will still be there tomorrow - the gale is raging - I just walked over one field to bring the brood mares in for the blacksmith and could hardly stand up - naturally they were in the valley and the field shelter was at the top of the hill - hay ho - i think I deserve some nice dry time with the computer!
