This above all; to thine own self be true.

There is peace of mind in a garden

The calmness and satisfaction gained from Natural  Growth

PictureOur new Colourful Orchid
I had a day in the garden at home sorting out the Geranium cuttings and potting up my new seedlings. 
I have already started to harden off some of the stronger seedlings ready to plant outside. 
Now we gardeners keep our fingers crossed and our hands together, praying that a sudden late frost will not descend on us and wipe out all our good work.

 Our Camellia shrub has some beautiful flowers open and masses of buds all over, ready to burst into a sea of pink. It has been a marvellous year for daffodils, and we have a number spread out in the garden with more flowers arriving every year.
 I treated our lawn with a feed and moss killer, the results are amazing, I now have masses of dead moss to rake up and dispose of.

    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.
