Weather: Sunny morning with showers forecast. Max 21C
This week's harvest: rocket (lots) spinach (pickings from the stumps left when I cleared last year's perpetual spinach) bay, thyme, basil, lemon balm, chives, artichoke (1)
OK - so nothing happens in the video! But that's the point. That was one of my favourite garden views on June 26th 2008 at about 8.00am. If you recognise the view from stills on previous posts you might notice that the Euphorbia (Fire Glow) has been cleared from the scene.
I wouldn't have cut it back but there were huge gales a few days ago and it was the worst casualty in the whole garden. The weight of the orange heads pulled it down and it was leaning right over the rose and pulling the yellow foxgloves over. They don't feature in the video - but I'm sure they'll make an appearance on a future post.
Meanwhile enjoy the peace of an English cottage garden in June.
