Warmest June in 132 years !

June here in The Netherlands was wet, 
sunny and the warmest in 132 years !
An overcast, dreary, high of 15 C today.
It's a good thing we can look back
 over the last few blog posts and check 
when we had those very warm days !
What a day to be weeding and splitting hostas!
These weather conditions are perfect for hostas !
We sure can enjoy the results !
Thank you for volunteering !
It must have been quite a muddy day!

All that hard work planning and digging in the new irrigation system
earlier this year is now being used and enjoyed at Het gazebo !
