I love growing feverfew, it is not only a great herb, it also looks beautiful in the garden among the lavender and the marigolds.
Blue hydrangea, my favourite in colours A bit of tansy growing among the other plants, in late summer it will give splendid yellow flowers.

Among all the wild and garden flowers this summer I am still also growing some vegetables, and many herbs too of course. The large garlic was a succes this time, and the garden peas are doing real well.

Not the red poppy of which the garden has been so full, but a lovely specimen all the same. And more lavender, beautifully scented.
This is just a little update at the end of this month of June, midsummer has just passed and I love the very early bright mornings, awaking at 4 o’clock very often while the first light appears in the Eastern sky, and the birds are singing, wonderful! And while the countries of continental Europe are scorching hot, we had a mellow feel to the day this afternoon with summer scents wafting up from the damp but warm earth, such a delight.
Henry James knew about these happy feelings when he said ““Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
Are you enjoying a wonderful summer in nature?
