The last month have been the best for the garden over here as in the summer months it gets too hot for many flowering shrubs and as we are working all hours, they tend to get neglected and the land around the house is very rocky with poor soil. We reopen our business next weekend for the following six months, so will no doubt have a few months of weeding and cutting back when Autumn arrives.
The summer weather has at last arrived after one of the coldest winters I have know for the 34 yrs I have lived here. Good to see people in shorts and t-shirts again and people on the beach.
