We saw the first swifts of the year on the 2nd of August.

Is this Lyonia ovalifolia?

Had a few days away in Yorkshire so there are some missing days in August, these should get filled next year as we add in the entries of my father and grandfather.

Any ideas why we have had a second flowering on our Lithocarpus?

Death and disease hits on the 21st of this month, but there are also signs of new life with the ripening of magnolia seed pods.

Hydrangea ‘Blue Wave’ is at its best towards the end of August

Where not to sit in August….
