Summer seems to fly so fast. We’re in July, wow. Normal summer has returned to Scotland. Breezy, cool, showers, and lots of trying to stop plants being knocked over by weather. Colours are gorgeous. I decided to settle on fabulous pink for my #SixOnSaturday this week.

Summer wouldn’t be summer without pelargoniums. I have managed to get a range to overwinter in the greenhouse. Just have the one plant with pink flowers, and here it is (perhaps I need to propagate).

It is a great rose year. Mostly for others, I’ve never managed to do well with roses, and have no idea why. here’s a lovely little one, lots of fabulous flowers, but sadly no scent.

I have come to lovely hardy geranium, the plants spread well, cover the ground, are all shapes and sizes, and lots of lovely flowers. These ones are low growing, with lots of tiny flowers.

Somehow, clematis have beaten the drought and pulled out all the stops for us. Wow.

A new plant for me (that’s a rarity). Dianthus, satisfyingly grown from seed. I’m keen on these.

And as we swing into July, my garden still holds some of the joy of early summer. Foxglove.

Stay safe, take care out there, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on various instances of the Fediverse. Join the sixes on Mastodon via #SixOnSaturday, but we need a few more folk to toot on the topic: come join us. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. Also on twitter @JamesLStephens. And I’m now mostly on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
