Although I feel it would be more representative of the state of my garden to just post pictures of parched earth, here are this week’s six:

1. Coreopsis ‘Double the Sun’ is one of the few flowering plants flourishing despite the drought.
2. Leucanthemum ‘Madonna’ is also doing well.
3. The courgettes are continuing to contribute the majority of garden produce. The variety is ‘Lemona’.

4. The tomatoes are starting to ripen. The variety is ‘Chocolate Cherry’.
5. There’s a heavy of crop of damsons this year.
6. And it looks as if there will be plenty of Bramley apples as well.

Enjoy your garden or outside space this week.

Watering, weeding and feeding has continued to be the order of the day. It’s difficult to believe the Summer Solstice is nearly upon us at which point my husband will be able to say – as he does every year – ‘The nights are drawing in…’

Here are this week’s six:

1. The first crop of French beans and courgettes. Small but tasty.
2. Not long acquired, Salvia Nemerosa New Dimension Blue is already flowering despite being nibbled by something that’s been able to make its way over a bark mulch.
3. You know it’s hot when even a buddleia is drooping.

4. It may be common and a bit of a thug but the Hypericum still makes a lovely show.
5. More unknown variety of roses – a deep pink…
6. And a lovely pale pink
