My Garden July 2021

Another shot of the garden taken almost a month or so after the last one.

Today's bright sunshine is masking what colour there is; Dahlias are begining to come out as are the Agapanthus, the Alliums are now seed pods. The Echnops are a couple of weeks away from flowering and I still have Poppies to flower. I have a tray of Foxgloves to plant out, but they won't do a thing until next year.

Have ordered a stack more Allium bulbs, tulips and Eryngium which will be delivered in September/October to plant out for next year.

Your garden looks so lovely and your lawn is so green. Any homeowner in LA would be jealous. Me most of all. I just came in from helping the gardener check all our sprinkler heads and drip emitters. Some of the plants are getting very arched. So every gardener's answer to everything is, "Put more time on the sprinklers." But we are deep into a drought and if the sprinklers or drip units are clogged or broken, all the time in the world won't help.

You have such a nice garden.

@mbrutus Thank you. I wonder with the rising temperatures across the globe and these weather events how long the classic English garden will survive.

@cwbill @kjarn @koalagardens @beryl @dutchothotmailcom Thank you all. It’s interesting for even me to look back on these photographs over the years I’ve been doing 365.

@phil_sandford it is sadly true. I have heard that it is already affecting truffle hunting in Scotland. And great changes here in LA. When I moved here in the 70's, I was amazed to find all the landscaping was designed to replicate either an English garden or a tropical Hawaiian garden. But now, every new garden resembles an Arizona or New Mexico garden. The sides of the freeway were abloom 365 days a year. They have long since turned those sprinklers off, but for the greater good.
