Summer has arrived

nutcutlet, you need our very own Botanic garden with a helpful staff or the four volumes of the four volumes of the RHS Dictionary of Gardening which is the one I have. So useful when labels disappear. I am sure the foxes use mine as cutlery.

Of course, nutcutlet(yummy). Rules are not made to be broken here but non-existent. I have done an hour's deadheading. Now for some editing.

My rainbow chard is delicious.

I have never seen so much blossom on the trees in all my many years of gardening. This is my hawthorn tree.

June 1st say the meteorologists is the first day of summer so I shall take my camera with me as i deadhead the spring flowers like daffodils and bluebells which have been so late this year and share them with you. The peonies definitely think it is summer.

What's this plant please

My "Dai Jin" has a superb scent. It attracts rose chafer beetles. It is supposed to be a tree peony with red and white striped flowers. Last year it had one red, one white and one striped. This year so far it has one red and two white, one of which started off as a pink bud. but i can forgive it for the scent beats the wallflower and the bluebells which abound in my garden at this time of year. My yellow one has lots of flowers this year and loads of seeds already. It has grown to over 14feet so the peonies loved the wet year we have just had.

The spring flowers on the Pieris "Forest flame" are still smelling beautifully while the summer flowering Poached egg plant, Limanthes douglasii, is bringing in the butterflies, up my garden on the last day of spring.
