Summer flowers June 2015

Top photo - some lovely colour in the garden now it is June - poppies and bluebells make a good show

Below is Clematis Montana growing up the front of the house - it is quite happy with a north facing wall and always a good show.

At last the weather is improving after a poor winter and cold wet spring! Some nice flowers and new lettuces almost ready to encourage me to keep planting and growing. I planted the pansies in October and the tulips in January. I got the tulips in Amsterdam and they are really a lovely display.

Just finished planting out both my greenhouses and polytunnels and really pleased with results so far. Already got lettuces and saladini ready to eat and last years winter lettuces are still being eaten too. 

This is the first year I have managed to keep lettuce going all the year round. I think it was due to the mild winter. Here are a few photos of various bits of the garden just now.

Have made up my hanging baskets ready for the sunny weather - I grew my own petunias this year as it is much cheaper

Summer produce

Here are a few delicious things I picked today. Some of our visitors enjoy picking vegetables with us for their dinner whilst staying at Breakish Moss Cottage. We have a fine selection of organic vegetables, fruit and eggs.
