This above all; to thine own self be true. 
William Shakespeare

There is peace of mind in a garden

The calmness and satisfaction gained from Natural  Growth

  Sadly, I lost my lovely large climbing plant at the bottom of the garden to the vicious Norfolk winds.
The very thick trunk had almost snapped completely and unfortunately there wasn't a hope of saving it.
 I cut it down and removed the old trellis and the arch, I found that the wood was almost rotted away in parts and this was the reason the wind had such a devastating effect. Margaret and I visited a local DIY shop and I bought a new trellis and a couple of supporting posts.
 I was very lucky and I managed to save my wonderful pink climbing rose and I think three different Clematis climbers, that were established on the old arch.

I was unable to do any work on the allotment today but I paid a visit as Margaret needed some Leeks. I snapped a few photographs in the rain.

    John~~Battling with the elements, pests and diseases in my struggle to keep the garden growing. A constant  daily struggle that will be recorded here.

    Gardening is such a delightful pastime. I spend time on my allotment almost every day of my life, and the sensation of pure satisfaction never ceases to amaze me. I get so much out of this pleasure, I think the benefits are so huge that the government should legislate and make it more available to everyone. I will list just some of the obvious reasons here. ~~
    1) Fresh fruit and vegetables and other produce. 
    2) Fresh air and an intense feeling of getting close to Nature. 
    3) Healthy exercise without the necessity of machines that are found inside a gym. 
    4) The satisfaction obtained by growing plants and watching and caring for them through to maturity. 
    5) A regular occupation that you can make into a routine, somewhere to go to at a certain time every day. 
    6) The companionship of like-minded people, with whom you can get ideas and swap tips on your mutual interests.
