Absolutely Speechless…

“No-one would have believed, in these the opening years of the twenty-first century that our personal gardening affairs were being observed from the perimeter plots of the allotment garden. No-one could have dreamed that all our cultivations and plans were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. To our mind few gardeners could ever consider the possibility of the utter destruction of other peoples’ plots. And yet, across the small and intimate space of this supposedly communal council garden, minds most assuredly inferior to ours regarded our plot with envious eyes, and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against it…”

Apple tree destroyed by a saw....
This is what envy looks like, I think…
Apple tree destroyed???
No, you are not seeing things…

Not everyone in a garden is a gardener

And so we’ve reached the milestone of Green-fingers Day.

Today we sowed Roja de Niort onions, Deep Purple and Dutch Blood Reds and White Lisbon onions, and a lettuce leaf seed mix which we also sowed last year and proved itself very successful.  We also sowed coriander seed…it was a wet, cool, miserable April day, devoid of showers..When it rains incessantly there are no showers, but at least we’ve managed to get all the raised bedded areas sown on cue; alas, no available space for a late arriving Goldilocks…
