Pests And Patience

A lack of progress is vexing, but there are still rewards to enjoy

- Naomi Slade

This week I had intended to write a cheerful horticultural tale. You know, something upbeat; a nice floral story with some top tips, befitting of high summer.

But, actually, I’m feeling more introspective than that. My attitude to the garden is flip-flopping backwards and forwards. On the one hand, I’m delighted with the improvements that have been made in just a few short months. The space has been transformed from something tidy but unbearably sterile to something that is chaotic but really quite verdant in places.
