Stake out

With the recent high temperatures the lavender has started to flower, and although I have a couple of bushes that will need replacing next year, they are looking rather spectacular for this year. We know summer is really here when the lavender comes out and the hummingbird moths return.

My tomato and chilli plants seem to have got a bit unruly. I think I should have staked them a bit earlier. I need to try and remember that next year. However, they are all bearing fruit, so I’m so excited we might be eating something from the garden very soon.

I couldn’t help but share this photograph, of a gorgeously scented rose that is in full bloom. It is just so delicate and smells so sweet.
