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

The first Camellias of this year open up~~
  I  have decided to take a chance and plant my second early potatoes a lot earlier than I usually do, I think the earlier I plant them the longer the growing season.  I should reap some benefits from this decision. 
  My Runner Bean bed has been prepared and I have dug in a liberal amount of horse manure to give the growing plants plenty of nourishment when I sow the seeds next month.
 The tomato plants are showing well at home and I have some very vigorous sweet pea plants that I grew from seeds that I managed to save from last year.
  The brassica seeds I set last week in my oversized tub are showing through nicely, they grew well in this tub last year before I transplanted them to their final growing positions.
  I couldn't resist including a photo of our 10 year old Camellia shrub that has just burst into bloom again~ HAPPY GARDENING

    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.
