Garden

Well part of the job of being alive in my view at least is to be as best a steward as possible of what weve been given. In that spirit Ive set about tackling the garden which has been neglected for some time.

Obviously, as you can see, there is little of interest in the garden and with little income and just over two years in this place it does not seem worthwhile investing in constructing the dream garden.

The house I live in used to be a farmhouse and I have heard that farming was mainly commercial horticulutre but they had some dairy too (i live in the dairy). Vegetables were grown from the house all the way down to the river and so the soil is apparently very good. Contributed to by silt that has been left by the river over the centuries. So I am going to grow veggies for the first time. This is a real cross over for me as I have always considered the veggie side of horticulture and those who proliferate it quite odd.

No doubt, needing a new obsession post marathon, I will be soon be banging on about my ginormous leeks and flawless carrots. Be warned.
