Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
This is the tipping point of the year in the garden. In the lead-up to the solstice this hardly comes as a surprise, but there’s another (almost certainly related) confluence of circumstances that can be a little discombobulating to the gardener who, since wrestling the beds and borders into a semblance of order just after Christmas, has allowed themselves to entertain a feeling of pride at how well everything’s been looking. But by the end of June – a month invariably blending long days with bright sun, warmth, and rather more rain than anyone seems to expect – the garden begins to hint in increasingly less subtle ways that it has its own ideas about how it should grow; hedges that were cut barely a fortnight ago break out of their allotted space, and bindweed begins to lassoo flowering stems to the ground.
