Reflection

I've been absent for a while as I mentioned before, we have just moved house. We are now in temporary accomodation until we find a permanent family home down in Eastbourne. I think I did underestimate a little the amount of work involved in moving house and garden after 5 years, as previously I had moved every year for 10 years (! yes) and though it was relatively straight forward. Anyway, it did mean a mass evacuation of all plants from my greenhouse, and a very speedy evaluation of what was so tender it couldn't survive on the plot for a couple of weeks before being planted. This was quite a short list and consisted mainly of squashes/cucurbits, sunflowers, sweetcorn and some spare french beans, oh and not forgetting my beloved celeriac that seems to wince if I even water it in anything under 20C!.

Anyway, it's a sad sight, seeing my garden like this after many happy years growing flowers/fruit/veg and of course children ....
