Sit back and smell the roses

001If only there was a scratch and sniff feature on these pages.   I am assailed by the most wonderful scents right now.   Roses both indoors and out.   Lilies everywhere, and even the cosmos is trying to compete. I love it.

It’s Thursday so it’s market day. And this rose is actually for Madame Orisette, my favourite stall lady. I love to take her flowers as she has had a tough winter with a broken wrist.

I went out to the potting shed (urged on by Artur who wanted some attention quite early) and couldn’t help taking a shot of my latest new garden.   It is always so hard to photograph it as the plants are tiny.   But I am so pleased how it is coming along.   I will need to move the phlomis in front – it’s too big – but the lavenders and cistus and santolinas are doing beautifully. calabert garden mid july

Right, enough gush. Time to go to market.
