We all know how much
it has rained this summer. There have been days when I haven't ventured
down the garden. The mosquitoes are enormous and bites require
antibiotics. Climbing beans and sweet peas are half their normal size.
But today we found a treasure. Years ago Denise gave us one which we
planted in the meadow. It disappeared....The meadow was once the lawn,
but with a high water table it was impossible to cut, so we let it grow.
Now we have lots of wild flowers and now our newest arrival.... now we
need crested newts and our garden can be a site of special scientific
interest!!
