It's very much a summer garden here now with the first freshness having gone over and instead things are ripening and setting seed. It has been a very dry few weeks and we are having to get the hose out at night to rescue our fruit, vegetables and new plantings. Finally though my sweet peas are in bloom and this year I've grown a row of Californian Poppies from seed and these too are now looking good, they shut completely at night and re-open in the morning. Gardening these days operates around the swallows nesting in our dairy where we keep our tools - instead I have to pop in and quickly gather all I might need to reduce their disturbance. They meanwhile are much less caring and have created rather a large mess for us to sort out when the single, very large baby fledges.
