My Garden in June 2025

I love the garden at this time of the year. There has been watering to do every evening, but the majority of the time has just been spent outside in the garden with a glass of Pimm's and a enjoyed many dinners.

There was also some tidying up after a weekend visit from our granddaughter.

I've done some weeding.

I've transplanted some seedlings and sown some more.

I've harvested some crops.

And there is more to come.

Melons, parsnips, potatoes, chilli, cucumber, pumpkins, beans, pak choi, radish, lettuce and beetroot

I've watched Stephanie's Rose flower in time for Father's Day and producing a third bloom for my birthday.

I've loved the light evenings. This photo was taken at 10.03pm on the solstice.

I'd sat outside at 4pm and was still reading. A whole night wasted, not really I read another book. The downside has been that I'm not getting into bed until gone 11pm and I'm shattered, despite not having done much. I think they call that Sod's Law.

I'm still waiting for the washing line to be re sited. The path still needs to be done, but the side of the shed is getting tidier and I can now walk down to the gate and front garden needs building up so the shrubs grow properly. 

I cut up an old pool noodle to protect the door handles from banging the walls.

There's always weeding to do and the lawn to me mown and the plants watered, but in general now, our garden is just a place to sit and enjoy.
