HARE TODAY, RAIN TOMORROW

Yes, R spotted a brown hare crouching in the rain in the back field from her new study window. A poor image but still a hare.




And some heavy rain as Shane Lowry wins the Open golf.

The veg beds are finally coming to life - somewhat. Sprouts nearest with the scruffy sweet pea plants.

It is clear the raspberries will have to be dug out and burned - they are stricken with a virus so no fruit. Any new plants will have to be placed elsewhere, not in the same place.

The agapanthus have twenty plus stems, here coming up through the feverfew.

R has weeded the asparagus bed.

There are many white flowers now at their best like the Lilium regale,  phlox and the mallow given to us by my younger sister.

































Alchemilla mollis is such a good plant spilling over the paving or under the red rose by the mower shed.


Here and there the self seeded opium poppies lend a splash of colour.

The banking below the house is splendid - alchemilla, lavender, shrubby clematis, stachys, hypericums etc etc.

And finally as this is moon landing time here is a big moon in the afternoon over Morecambe Bay
