*when everything was still in full bloom


When everything was still in full bloom.

This year, I had a sunflower in the greenhouse. Not really essential, but fun! Everything ripened super fast, yet also started to wither earlier because of the long, steady heatwave we had – almost no rain at all! The first grapes were ripe at the end of July!

Yes the dry spell was challenging, but the plants loved the extra sunshine!!

@Sandra: yes, they grew so well and all summer through! Very grateful flowers!

@Joy: I can imagine that for England it was really a pleasant change to have more sun!
