How readers helped to create our front covers
We love August • August often gets a bit of bad press – the excitement of midsummer is over, the lawns and fields are a bit parched and many gardens are looking a little careworn, as if suffering from a hangover after a hard night. This is grossly unfair as August is a month made for bold colours, with annuals at their best and all those exotics soaking up the sunshine. Ignore the lawns – they will recover – and, instead, concentrate on colour. Let the crimsons cascade, the oranges overfow, the pinks preen, the blues bop and the yellows yell.
