Late June borders...

I think late June is the best time of the year for the garden. Things are full of life, but not so full of life as to get heavy and wallow. It hasn't turned to full-blown lushness just yet, and that is the way I like it best I think. My pound shop bulbs and cuttings from last year's plants have been a big success and the bright reds and oranges have completely changed the feel of the garden.
