July 2020 in the Neighbourhood

I’m assuming that people are, like me, getting very tired of COVD-19-related issues, but are heartened by the gradual lifting of restrictions (such as the Garden re-opening!). I am still taking regular early morning walks in my neighbourhood, and it’s fascinating to see what plants around people’s houses look like from one week to the next.

July is the height of bedding plant season. These plants are infamous for their consistent flowering and lack of change from week to week (for example, border geraniums look pretty much the same in June as they do in July and August). However, I’ll do my best to mix it up and find the interesting in the ordinary.
