Purple June - En Juni i lila

Ops! June started out with an explosion in purple, Irises, Lilacs, Chives, Sage & Rhododendron... the list could go on. I think purple is a favorite, it goes so very well with all the shades of green.

I know this has nothing to do with the garden but it is a special day for us in my home town Vaxholm. Vaxholm is a very small town about 25 Km north east of Stockholm, we use to say that it is the capital of the Archipelago. Tomorrow is 'The Archipelago Boat Day' and then all the old steamers and new archipelago boats have a parade from the city center harbor of Stockholm to the harbor of my town

So when the wheather is like this I think we shall have a nice bowl of soup for dinner together with a fresh baked bread and a nice cheese. I have some nice nettles behind a shed I think I will take
