Greenhouse envy.

Yes. That is a proper greenhouse...

The garden looks so comforting!

It is a very cheering garden. So much summer colour!

I grew salvia seeds this spring, and only one seed sprouted and is now blooming scarlet in a pot. Although the label said White salvias ))

I wonder if in this garden the faded groups of plants are cut off (for a possible second flowering) or everything remains as it is until the fall?

Never trust the label!

In a normal year, the Salvia would be flowering until September or October, but everything started flowering a month early this year because of the mild winter and spring.

I think everything will be left to flower and fade, except maybe the Hardy Geraniums. They are often cut back when they finish flowering, so that they flower again in the autumn.

But did you get a scone? You can't leave us hanging like that!

[puddleshark]

I did! A lovely fresh scone of the highest order. And I got to sit outside in the sunshine and share it with some tame sparrows.

Good old National Trust tea rooms...

Beautiful.

[puddleshark]

Yes. Lovely summer colour. And even some sunshine to go with it!
