Gardening is hard work. It's hard on the back, the hands and the knees. Why do I summit myself to such abuse? Because the rewards are so easy on the eyes, it's therapy, meditation and it heals my soul.
Here is my reward for last autumn's hard work.
Now for the work that will reward me later. For Mother's Day, instead of flowers, I asked Brian and Astrid to get me plants that will reward us long term. We've had so much success with our raspberry hedge that I wanted another fruit-bearing bush. I chose this jostaberry, which is a cross between a black currant and a gooseberry. I will let you know how that turns out.
I also received a wonderful variety to plant in my kitchen garden: tomatoes, herbs,
broccoli, beans and peppers.
My kitchen garden patch is ready to go.
Happy planting, everyone.
