Hi all,
When you really think about gardening and whats involved,
you'd be amazed of what gardening offers to all kinds of hobby/interest etc,
What im saying is take myself for instance I was never any good at art when i was in school, i couldnt see what the art master was talking about when he said paint what you see, "Everything looked flat or dead" when i'd finished.
And unlike my father-in-law i just could'nt find the interest to take picture after picture of flowers etc
And then life changed for me and we bought our first house with a garden and thats when all these verious interest of other's fell into place without really knowing it,
My art is the back ground to my garden (The lawn) and then the verious borders are filled with reds/ blues /pinks and so on, then came the trees, fruit trees led on to tasting and cooking good food and all home grown, Pictures of verious flowers/trees/ even bugs have a new interest as do chemistry ref what PH of the soil is and what to bring it up or lower it down and what to use to do these things ie (Epson salts / Lime/ ETC ETC,
And then the gardening takes you into nature and signs of what the weathers going to be like day to day all this by the signs of cow's laying down together
this is a sure sign rains on its way and certain birds signing away on a fine summers day "what could be better"
Even reading about the old ways of gardening and how the victorians did the gardens,,
Pest control, Manure and all the different kinds of compost etc etc,
The reading of books on the next subject you want to know about, Growing it, making jams/ chutney by the jar fulls, drings from you fruit.
Yes no matter what your level and interest in gardening you'll never be done you'll always find your garden needs a bit more of this or that tobe done befor the days over,
But remember we are all only landlords to nature and in the end all the land returns to the way nature made it,
A weed is just a plant you didnt want, "but nature did".
A lady from Leeds. ( Poem by Daniel Seamingway.)
Once a Lady from Leeds swollowed a packet of flowering seeds,
Within the hour her face was all covered in flowers and her feet was all hidden in weeds.
