We are back home again now and the garden needs a bit of TLC. I get all around the beds with the strimmer mower cleaning all the paths and edges and then plant out the summer vegetable seeds and seedlings. Because there is always the possibility of frosts until November, we put a few temporary cloches over the most sensitive seedlings to give them an early start.

The early poppies are starting to bloom now, always a good sign of the warmer weather.
