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

PictureWindswept~Bent over trees at the allotment.
We experienced gale force winds continually all day yesterday and right through the night. I went to the allotment to make sure that nothing was damaged or blown away. There were several compost bins blown around but fortunately for me, I got off very lightly and everything was in order.
 In total contrast we had a very pleasant sunny day today, and I was able to get some weeding done in my garden at home. It is brilliant to see all the spring bulbs pushing through the soil and I have masses of Snowdrops in flower and of course my Hellebore is in full flower now, and looking good. My lawn seems to be suffering from an invasion of Moss, I think I will have to rake the moss off and treat the grass with a general feed and moss killer.

    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.
