The warmest and driest since records in Switzerland began. Normally in early June we are just starting to get used to the idea of summer, but this year everyone has been in summer mode for a couple of months already. The garden is in full bloom and there is lots of work to do &#8211; mainly involving weeding and spraying against greenfly and blackfly, which are out in party mode this year. My broad beans are so covered in blackfly that I really doubt whether they will survive. They are always at risk, but this year because of the temperature they have been hammered, ditto roses, although the roses don&#8217;t look as bad and I haven&#8217;t lost the fight for them yet.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/15.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2122\" title=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/15.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/15-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/31.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2123\" title=\"3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/31.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/31.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/31-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2125\" title=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/6.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2126\" title=\"6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/6.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/6-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/7.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2127\" title=\"7\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/7-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/9.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2128\" title=\"9\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/9.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/9-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/111.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2130\" title=\"11\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/111.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/111-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/132.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2131\" title=\"13\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/132.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/132.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/132-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year I&#8217;m going to try really hard to make time to sit in the garden and enjoy it and not just rush around trying to do a never-ending list of jobs.
