Fairweather Gardener (If but it were...)

OK. I admit it. I am just a fair-weather gardener / allotmenteer deep down.

It isn't that I lack commitment, or that I don't mean well... it's just that when it is cold, wet, grey and miserable, there seem to be so many other things on the "To Do" list - admittedly things that are indoors - that are more attractive.

I will use my time productively though. I am going to sort out the Pantry in the Church Lane Kitchen, to ensure I am sorted and ready for all the various goodies that will get created from the produce of the Plot & the Garden (if I ever get out there and actually grow stuff!) I may even be brave enough to post a before & after shot later...we'll see.

But despite the weather, the seedlings on the windowsill seem happy enough - more peas have pushed their way through the surface, joining a couple more Kale seedlings and now I have Broccoli coming up too. Hurrah!

  1. How did the pantry sorting go Stephen? It's just as important to have stuff like that done as it is to spend time sowing and planting etc... i must confess to being the other way around... i spend far far too much time sowing and planting etc, and the inside jobs just never get done!
    My house and outbuildings are a tip!!! lol.

  2. I want to enjoy my gardening and I can't do that in such weather so I'm with you on this one! Flighty.

  3. Thank you for that, gentlemen - makes me feel better! :-) I think I try to strike a balance between the outdoor stuff and the indoor...but fear it may just mean BOTH end up half done! Pantry is much better though. Phew.
