JULY

July is often considered to be the start of the ‘lean period’, which continues to mid August. The greens of spring have largely gone, and the reds, purples and browns of autumn have yet to arrive. There is some truth in this, and you may need to redirect your efforts to the more disturbed habitats, such as your own garden, or to the seashore. July does, however, have some first-class specialists. The glorious if unreliable Cherry Plum can turn the roadside hedge yellow and red, Meadowsweet is conspicuous in hedgerows and wet fields, and Raspberries can be found in woodland glades and hedgerows. My favourite July specialist is the Black Garden Ant. Its virgin queens fly in huge numbers from their nest for a period of two hours on just one day, right in the middle of July.
