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

There will never be enough hours in my life to keep up with all the work on my allotment and I am loving every minute of it. The feeling of accomplishment and pure satisfaction as the plants begin to push through the soil and show their first tender leaves is priceless.
 I really am so pleased that in spite ot some very cold grey misty coastal weather here in Norfolk, visible progress has certainly been made. The seed bed is bursting and we have enjoyed some beautiful salads. Cabbages and Kale have been planted and covered with netting as protection from the attentions of my avian friends. The asparagus is producing spears of excellence, all-be-it sporadically, the strawberry plants are busting with flowers that bode a very good crop on the way for when that first tennis ball is struck at Wimbledon ALL~GOOD~NEWS~SO~FAR~FINGERS~CROSSED~WELCOME SUMMER  :)

    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.
