July is probably my favourite month in the garden, as it’s when everything seems to burst into action all at once. The flower border is overflowing with annuals as the cornflowers, calendula, poppies and lavatera are all flowering. Every year I tell myself that I’ll broadcast the cornflower seeds sparingly and every year we end up with masses of them.
Meanwhile in the vegetable beds, we’ve harvested some potatoes (Pentland Javelin) and rat-tail radishes, which can be eaten fresh from the plant or fried whole and sprinkled with salt as a side or snack. The sprouts, carrots and winter onions are all still growing, but the kale is ready to harvest and there should be enough to freeze to see us through the winter months.
There is just so much colour and vigour in the garden at this time of year, and it seems to change everyday as one flower dies back and another opens. Have a lovely week! X
Lovely and Grateful 
Well done! I’ve never tried to grow veg but I am so envious of your wildflowers, especially the poppies.

Thanks. 😊 I love wildflowers too, we have plans to turn part of the garden into a wildflower meadow next year.

Thanks! 😊 It’s such a rewarding hobby, and it always feels like a reciprocal relationship because the harder we work in the garden, the more it gives us back. ❤
