With summer in full fling now, the garden has come alive with flowers and bees. Whenever I see the bees on my Lavender bushes I think someone is going to get some lovely Lavender Honey! I planted 8 new bushes this year, they are all still small but all have a good supply of Lavender coming up.
The Apples are coming on well on our trees
as are the Blackberries, plentiful as usual - we let them grow in our garden despite the unfriendly brambles, the fruits are divine and well worth waiting for.
The Tomatoes have flowers, hopefully soon masses of cherry tomatoes!
I'm very pleased with my crop of Cayenne Peppers, I grew them all indoors and
all the plants have loads on them. I just have to Google whether I should leave them on the plants to ripen and go red or pick them and ripen off the plant.
We have Sunflowers too! The girl and I planted some seeds, some now look like this, ready to pop
and one surprised us this morning which elicited a big WOW from both of us. Isn't it just beautiful!
A few of the flowers scattered around the garden, the colours really cheer me up.
Summer is finally here.....
Garden, Gardening, Summer, Flowers
Absolutely beautiful photos! Especially love the lavender and the bunting xx
ReplyDeleteThat sunflower is just gorgeous. Your garden looks a bit further ahead than ours - apart from a good crop of raspberries and redcurrants everything feels like it's a bit behind at the moment. Just need that warm sunshine back to get it all to come to life!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a great harvest.
ReplyDeleteI miss home grown fruit... at least my parents still have a space for them
Yay, thank googness smmer is here. You will have such a bumper crop when it all comes through. Well done, Mich x
ReplyDeleteWow the pictures are breathtaking .x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and such lovely colours :-) Sunflowers are so beautiful aren't they.. we've only got one this year (the slugs got all the rest) so I can't wait for it to open. Those peppers love wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures:) Your apples look like they are coming on well - must go and check ours out!!
ReplyDeleteThat's it. I'm definitely planting sunflowers for next year! That one is amazing! In fact all of your garden is amazing - the apples especially - wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining in for the first time this week with my very bare but new garden this week.I'm hoping I'll have a wonderful garden like yours next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and plants. Now I know what my tomato plants should be looking like! No flowers on mine, although no idea what type of how late they should be in flowering and harvesting.
ReplyDeleteOur apples are doing well too - we have dessert and cookers - just hoping we don't have the winds as last year so many were wrecked before we could get them ripe and picked
Such bright and crisp shots - and that sunflower - wow! Between that and those blue skies in the top pics this really is a post full to the brim of Summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks ever so much for joining in and sharing x
Stunning photo's! I love your lavender and your apples, peppers and sunflowers are more advanced than ours! We get lots of blackberries around our farm, so I am looking forward to harvesting them in the late summer :)
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes have flowers too. I got a late start.
