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

Removal of our Garden Arch           9/2/2013

  Saturday morning, a misty sort of very damp start to the day ruled out a visit to the allotment, so I thoroughly read the newspaper over breakfast. .
  The weather brightened up considerably and we had noticed that our arch in the garden was looking quite drunkenly windswept and leaning over to one side..

We bought this arch about 7 years ago when we laid out the garden, it looked very nice when it first went up and over the years it has looked glorious covered in pink and purple Clematis and white Jasmine flowers. It was a very good buy and we have had good value over the years. Sadly it had come to the end of its useful safe life, and I reluctantly had to remove it. I managed
 to find new homes for our live Clematis plants and hopefully they should survive the trauma of the transplanting.
  Both Margaret and I think the garden looks better and more open after this sad goodbye as the latest photograph at the end of this post shows.

So farewell to our lovely arch.

    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.
