July is probably the only month when hot pink and ochre yellow unapologetically thrive in our backyard, with no toning down for expected usual moodiness. The days and long and hot, August dahlias seem far, far away, there is still rhubarb on the farm stand, and abundant melissa in the garden. Sitting next to a potted oleander and two rosemary bushes we recreate our own riviera mood, even just for a few fleeting moments.
