A really warm day - almost summer. Everything is coming on fast now - geranium phaeums, the massive recemes of wisteria - a big mistake in my tiny garden but fun - the mid-season clematis and the roses are all budding up well. The loganberry has flowers as do the raspberries and strawberries and at the top of the bush the redcurrants are even beginning to show a tiny bit of colour.
Also, I picked off a lot of black spotty leaves from the roses, 2 lily beetles - such a bad design fault being red! - and the geranium phaeum, of which I now have 4 varieties, are suffering badly from mildew. But whoever said you could have it all....
Had a salad of curled parsley, lambs lettuce and American land cress from the garden tonight. Very satisfying - and quite peppery.
