Midsummer box

Today is the formal start of summer and the box is looking quite pleased with itself.

For some time it has been against the east wall of the house from where my wife, Cynthia, can see it, hence the grape vine leaves in the background.

The white clover now covers most of the ground and is flowering.  The tutsan on the right is doing well as is the Leycesteria towards the left.  The reddish leaves are of herb robert which is now coming towards the end of its annual cycle.

It is good to see the box doing so well after last winter when it was frozen solid for weeks.
