Great combination

I just don’t know where the days have gone this week. I’ve just seen I haven’t blogged since 12th June, nearly a week ago.

The weather has been very mixed here in Champagne, sunshine and rain, a great combination for the growing garden, but not when I want to cut the grass!

We’ve kind of been making the most of the dry sunny spells, tidying up the borders in the walled garden, and laying some cocoa shells as a mulch. It’s great, as it smells of chocolate, as well as helping retain the moisture in the hotter days.

I’ve also been planting up some of my pots. I’ve tried to chose more drought tolerant plants this year, which is a bit ironic with all the rain.

I know I’ll be glad of the choice in a week or two though.
