Sometimes, the garden feels rather fallow in July.The poppies have finished and the sunflowers are just budding. Day lilies come and go with disarming rapidity. But still, the dahlias have made it and are beginning to explode, the drought fears have receded with pulses of welcome rain – even the lawn has perked up. And the vegetable section of the potager has bee fantastic. Indeed the combination of calendular and cornflower has been a revelation. So enjoy… oh and if you make it to the end there’s Dog and a short Vicky video for her admirers…
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
Glorious colours, Geoff. Slugs ate my dahlias and only a few bedraggled, munched-at specimens survived.
