For us, June has traditionally been a month of showers, as the winds from the Pacific carry moisture to our mountains. That didn’t really happen much over the last two years, which left the Robson Valley with draught conditions, but fortunately this year we have been back to normal. All of the many rain showers have cause an explosion of growth in the plants.
I took the photo above of our garden from our balcony. I prefer garden photos from a distance, that way you can’t really see all of the weeds, that also benefitted from all of the showers. This afternoon I will have to go over to the Milne’s where we grow our garlic and weed the bed. David said the weeds there are now taller than the garlic.
The long parade of showers have also caused our lawn to grow like crazy, but they have also kept the lawn wet, which has hampered my ability to mow it.
My lupine have also had a good year. Having flowered, they are now on their decline, but the photo below shows that they still have some color and look good.
