Work to be done in the Garden . 
June. 
June and July and August are not very busy 
months — our chief work is now to keep our gar- 
dens tidy and to admire the flowers that now are 
coming out. 
It is a great thing now, too, to notice exact 
colours and plants that look well together, and to 
try and remember which seem to thrive well in 
the different places. Any one fond of gardening 
finds some interest everywhere. One cannot pass 
a mere window full of plants or a cottage garden 
without observing something about our favourite 
flowers. 
In June we may still be putting out any plants, 
but I think it is rather pleasant to be for a while 
complete, and for the three summer months to 
make as few changes as we can. 
We have too now the delight of gathering 
flowers, and there is always something to be done 
in training all the climbers and cutting off dead 
blossoms before they go to seed. 
Weeds are also generally apt to give some work, 
though when we are on the watch to pounce on 
the first that comes they gradually lessen as they 
do not sow seed.
