Well the weather has been spectacular at last! Summer arrived. What a strange year. I have peonies totally over and some just coming into tight bud. The same with the roses. You can almost hear the plants wondering if it's safe to get on with things now! Lots of time has been spent in the… Continue reading Garden and Golf Steals June!
