Last summer was not a particularly fun one.
Long and hot and dry, my plants suffered.
It started in June. The first week of June we were in the 90's (that is degrees Fahrenheit) and it pretty much stayed there all summer!
My plants whithered, or were eaten... and the hosepipe bans took their toll.
I am hopeful this year will be better!!
My seeds are purchased (well the early spring ones anyway) and the beds tilled over. And if the rains stops, I can start to plant the seeds!
I thought that, in the meantime, I'd share some photos from some different gardens from last year!
coming up next... Williamsburg, May 2010
"I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight
-A Midsummer-Night’s Dream (2.1.260-5)
