This weekend we have welcome sunshine, giving drowned flowers the chance to hopefully, pull their heads up high again! Here’s my purple pick from the garden this week, in the sunshine, for #SixonSaturday!
A Purple Pick
A Blooming Lovely Six on Saturday for June
The first week of June has been all about gorgeous blooms working together to create a tapestry of colour which seems to bursting out everywhere.
Six on Saturday for a May Bank Holiday Weekend
This week has been all about new blooms which seem to have burst out everywhere!
Six on Saturday after the Rain
After so many weeks of warm, dry weather, the garden and I were doing a happy dance this week to see some rainfall! It is amazing how the combination of rainfall followed by sunshine really makes everything in the garden so much more lush!
A Six on Saturday in Uncertain Times
It's a sombre week in the world as we all come to grips with the reality of our current situation. How we manage over the coming months will test us all but never more so than now, will we appreciate our gardens!
Colour Pops for Six on Saturday
From one tiny pop of colour to the next, in between the sleet and rain showers, it is just wonderful to watch the garden slowly start to wake up!
Six on Saturday – Anticipation
February is a month of anticipation: Spring is not yet here but it is almost tangible, it's in the air and the garden is very slowly starting to wake up!
Six Signs of Hope on a Saturday
A walk round the garden this week in between rain and 50mph winds, reveals signs of great hope: buds and bulbs fighting their way to emerge! Amidst the bleak mid-winter, these pops of green are quite simply a joy to behold!
A Past, Present and Future Six on Saturday
This week's #sixonsaturday, celebrates some of the fading past glory of the garden, appreciates the colour of the present and looks forward to the future Spring burst of bulbs and flowers in the pots and hanging baskets.
Six on Saturday – October Joy
It may be most definitely Autumn now but there is still so much to behold in the garden if we can but find it, in between the showers!
Back at The Botanics – Six on Saturday
I was back at the fabulous Glasgow Botanic Gardens this week for the launch of the RHS's Green Plan It challenge for schools to design a garden.
Six on Saturday – In The Pink
For this week's Six on Saturday, I found an abundance of pink blooms dotted around the borders. It did surprise me that there was so much pink in the garden at this time year as I planned the flowering to slide from purple into red and yet, here we are with a plethora of pink!
