We love May

- WORDS James Alexander-Sinclair

I have just found a list of odd things that are celebrated in May. These include Grape Popsicle Day, Quiche Lorraine Day, Internatio­nal Hamburger Day, World Turtle Day, Hummus Day and Chocolate Chip Day. I applaud all these celebratio­ns but feel that we don’t need a designated day to exult in our gardens.

This month is always a joy as the spring bulbs fade and we go up a gear

into summertime but every day, no matter what season or weather, is always a red-letter day for those of

us lucky enough to have gardens.
