SUMMER
« BACK TO GARDEN

SUMMER SEES ROSES AND MOST OF THE PERENNIALS BLOOMING, WITH ARCHITECTURAL PLANTS LIKE VERBASCUMS, ANGELICA AND FENNELS CREATING STRONG ACCENTS IN EVERY BORDER. FROM JUNE EVEN THE KITCHEN GARDEN REACHES ITS BEST. FROM EARLY JUNE TO LATE AUGUST EVERY WEEK DIFFERENT DELICACIES RIPE AND REACH OUR TABLE, STARTING WITH ASPARAGUS AND STRAWBERRIES, TO FAVA BEANS AND PEAS, CHERRIES AND RASPBERRIES, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES. THE HERB GARDEN SEEM TO EXPLODE WITH DIFFERENT MINTS AND SAGES. THIS IS THE SEASON FOR RICH SALADS, WHERE LETTUCES, CHICORIES AND ROCKETS OF EVERY SHADE AND TASTE ARE MIXED AND GIVEN COLOUR WITH FLOWERS SUCH AS MARIGOLDS, NASTURTIUMS AND BORRAGO.
