10 early-summer plants to recreate our garden look

Step outside for a world of things to see and do!

As I write this to you I’m anticipating the delivery of our long awaited garden table! It’s taken us three years to save for and finally, we’ll be able to sit out with friends properly through summer for drinks and meals. I’ve jet washed the patio at the top in preparation because it was dangerously slippy, also to better even out the colour of the old strip of stone and the new half we added last year. It’s a good space, not too big, and I like that one side is raised above the slope of the soil. I often stand on it looking at the plants from above.
