May and June begins the gardens' peek growing season when the days are
longer and the heat kicks in. June offers those gardeners late to the party an
ample opportunity to get things started especially if the gardener is interested
in planting for autumn colour
Gardening Poem
Oh what our Garden at Vida Walsh in
the gold days of May and June?
Basking in the haze of wonderful days,
It is a Brixton haven a secret that is in
tune,
With cars roaring past and traffic
wardens bays.
The passer by look on and we listen,
We hear The Saltoun murmur and we
see our garden glisten.
Every gardener task is a might,
Every Gardener helps build this paradise of elder’s powers
The Wisdom of Windrush Generation is light
Comes from this Diaspora in plants and flowers
