Our front garden has become more colourful this month with this show of nemesia flowers.

I have pruned the half dozen rose bushes and had some pretty blooms in a vase indoors.

We planted a herb pot on our balcony which is going well. Mint, thyme and coriander were established plants. The rocket seeds in the top section are growing nicely.

In the back garden we have kept it tidy. I planted a few seeds in our veggie patch. The spinach is looking strong, carrots and Romanesco broccoli were sown a few weeks later so have yet to appear.

I cut back a rosemary bush and harvested some rhubarb. There wasn’t enough for a pie or crumble so I chose to make a rhubarb relish, which we will enjoy with cheese and biscuits.

We have a compost bin again and are happy to make productive use of our food waste.

It’s been a relaxed and pleasurable month in our garden 🙂
