June in my garden…

Well, your roses are a picture…bar the one Derek gave you before he left us. That must have been a fierce gale! Hopefully you know the name and can replace it. Or….perhaps you might have to let it go to Derek. Your pond is lovely, I have always admired it. So well-crafted. We have had a lot more rain today and I am grateful as the spring was so dry. Hopefully some of my wild seeds will germinate in the wilderness across the road. So far, we only have Mustard, a few phacelia and some pretty pink vetch. The rest is all what you’d call weeds. Docks, thistles, buttercups etc. but they have their beauty as well….perhaps not the docks.

I hope the rose from Derek will survive Linda.

According to the local reports Karen it was a mini tornado that ripped over our side of the town, sadly in line with my garden,last year when that happened it destroyed our gazebo but the garden remained intact, I was working outside in the garden but down the bottom, frightened me I kid you not, the rose is named Nostalgia, I keep giving it a drink, just have to hope Karen.. I sowed a box of the wild flowers amongst the shrubs in my long border and pleased to say most of them are doing well, most of them I wouldn’t even class as weeds, lots of poppies amongst them, be interesting to see what colours they are…xx

Thanks Sheila, l have been successful in the past with roses so keeping my fingers crossed, if it doesn’t survive I will buy another one but definitely not a standard…l have to correct you, my name is Sue .xx

We had something like that a few days ago Sue. I was in the shower. Day had been a bit breezy but nothing much. I left the parasol up. It’s a huge one. In the shower I hears some odd banging noise. Came down and still no wing to speak of, but the parasol was right across the garden. Luckily no damage. It happened to my neighbour as well. Weird!
