I nearly forgot about my blog or perhaps I am just avoiding the truth!
Gardening has been harder than I thought. There are great disappointments but of course there are some joys! It has been puzzling why some of our vegetables are not growing as quickly or at the same rate as my friends! Finally I discovered the truth! They added fertilisers! How silly of me not thinking it through! We were told because we have organic soil and therefore we do not need any fertilisers - how wrong we were!
Anyway despite the disappointment, I am pulling myself up. Over the bank holidays, the rockets are growing wildly, the mint is prospering, strawberries are still growing, tomatoes are growing, chillies are growing - I guess they are a comfort. Slow burner but still growing. Herbs perhaps in some ways are unrewarding as it took them a long time to grow.
Looking at my garden now, I look at myself as a parent. I am anxious for my son to have the best in life, ensure he learns as quickly as he can and everything the best - perhaps in doing so I might neglect the joy I have with him and the special bond I have with him. Perhaps I should take a step back and learn the blessings in my life.
O well, that is it for now.
