Today planting ultra-late leeks, digging out another barrow of wellrotted, setting out little garden plantlets to grow on & spent time under here too, reading books from 60s and 70s that were about organic & sustainable growing. Asking - why did it take me so long to catch up?

New Policy: R.Albertine will be planted wherever there’s a shrub or vertical. Bees adore him and scents of sherbert, summer and vanilla sugar are heady & uplifting. #goodinthegarden

Bees enjoying Cirsium Rivulare at the allotment. Nothing to feed me but the pleasure of watching them.
