The Garden in early June


May was quite a busy month for us with two trips away - updates to follow in due course. But with us away the garden continues to launch into its summer mode.



The bottom patio is looking extremely lush at the moment. We have been thinning out the grape vine and Clematis armandii that cover the pergola to get a little more light down to the ground.
