June 2010

This month has the greatest number of different plants in flower in every part of the garden and in every colour. I have included more “weeds” and some grasses as they add colour and variety to the garden if kept under control.  Many are very attractive to bees and butterflies being native British wild flowers so I think they have a value in the garden and most can be easily removed before they go to seed.
