Overgrown Beauty

There’s something beautiful about an overgrown, unlived in, neglected garden.   Through the tangle of branches, new life continues to push forward and grow, nature winning over in its unordered, chaotic way where once the clippers, shears and secateurs kept it in line.

 

This beautiful garden holds many special memories for me and now it’s time to say goodbye.  But it’s fabulous to see it go with the flowers in bloom and life continuing within its confines, ready to be nurtured and loved again.

 

For life does go on, and that is exactly as it should be.

About me

I discovered the pleasure of playing with dirt, nurturing seedlings and growing vegetables just last year in 2015. I've always dabbled with growing courgettes, tomatoes and herbs in the garden but success has been variable.

2015 however was a successful year: I bought a greenhouse and committed to growing everything I could, much of it from seed: tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, squash, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, peas, leeks, celeriac.

Then garlic, red onions, white onions, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes.

Most of it was a success too - and what I loved the best was bringing fresh produce in from the garden to the table. To have my family - and teenagers especially - engaging with their food has inspired me immensely.

So that's it; I'm hooked on vegetable growing.

My garden isn't big, last year I devoted just a couple of square metres to growing space, so when the opportunity has arisen to take on my very own allotment... well, I am so very excited!
