Phew, 34C here today! Have disregarded the saying about casting clouts before we melt! The pool was at 26 yesterday, very pleasant.
A few years ago we received a free gift of a lemon tree from a nursery. It took a while to get going, and we have to put it in the potting shed over the winter but here is the first harvest.
We enjoyed some bits of RHS Clelsea last week but it didn't seem as vibrant as usual. Mainly due to the reduced number of large show gardens. Never do understand the judging either. Our garden is semi cultivated, semi wild and always in need of something doing, especially at this time of the year. No time for the manicured finish. Here are a few of this week's highlights!

Perfect weather for a barbeque this evening!
