The first days of summer have arrived despite the current climate suggesting otherwise, this symbolic period evokes many responses within us; for the scientist within you this will mean that the earth’s semi axis in our hemisphere is tilted in the closest position possible towards the sun. The druid lurking within you might consider stroking Stonehenge sporting some thai dye or maybe just your mac in a pac. But what about the botanist within you ? Well, the warm March and April meant that the strawberries ripened earlier and were therefore exceptionally tasty due to the decrease in acid and increase in sugars, but what has mid-June brought us? Unfortunately rain and not much sun. So you might have noticed that some fruit and veg seem under developed, but do not fear because the sun is apparently scheduled for a reappearance next week. This means that the ground - newly replenished with liquid precipitation - will be perfect for planting, so inject some colour into your garden using Dalia’s, awaken your senses by planting herbs and lavender and enjoy your garden to the max throughout these long summer days.
