Hope everybody enjoyed our summer😉😎😂 It was hard work getting all of the plants planted-out in that heat but they were definitely better outside than "frying" in the greenhouse !! Beds of sweet peas, strawflowers, sunflowers, cornflowers, wildflowers, scabiosa and dahlias are all doing well. The perennials are a delight this year for flower bucket, bouquets etc😍. The last photo is of a wild orchid growing in the field.
On the wildlife front there's lots going on...barn owls, parakeets, ducks and all the other birds are doing well...although we have had a few baby swallow losses (probably due to the heat in the nest)
Will post some more photos when the annuals bloom💐
