    "...a plant that you've known from seed..." What a beautiful way of expressing his love for his garden!

    • @equestanton1017

      It is. Sometimes I forget when I look up at a grove of towering Roystonea olercea palm trees that I have known them from a few tiny seeds lying scattered on the mossy ground of a damp park in Singapore after a heavy tropical rain. They do become so much a part of you. However rather suddenly they're these things all in their own right that leave you in so much awe your part in it all seems rather insignificant to be honest. What can be grown out of small zip lock bags filled with tiny seed collected around the world can be truly astounding. The miracle of a seed, yes.

    I am moving from a 2000 m2 garden, an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, all planted, fruit trees, climbing roses, figs, lavendar etc and into a smaller houser with an innder courtyard and 4m2 of earth ! I have just dug up my peonies and a recent vine and next will be a rose and jasmin as the house will remain empty once I leave. I have plans to extend the planting area and have already some big olive trees in pots and a silver birch. I potted up the fig tree and pomegranit tree as the base structure of the planting but first have to build up the planting area to a good height otherwise my little terriers will have a field day ! I know that I will miss my garden but I love a challenge and there are plenty of green spaces to walk the dogs despite moving into a townhouse. Arthur is such an inspiration.

    A real home, complete with the must have washing line. It is lovely that they really appreciate the age and original character of the property.
    My heart aches when people comletely modernise and destroy an older property.
    Especially given the fact that there are a lot more modern properties available, it's so destructive to depreciate irreplaceable history and beauty.

    Well said Arthur. I am literally the plants I grow. I eat them so I know them and they know me. We are biologically connected. There genes run in my blood, they maintain and rebuild me, we resow and the off spring of plants I have eaten already know me before they germinate
    When the break the soil it's like looking at an old friend.
    They grow well because they know my intention. They understand me and are happy that I spend time with them, that I am interested

    Many people water at dusk because they are in a tearing rush in the morning to start work, but actually watering in the morning is far superior, before the sun is strong, if you water at night the dampness does not dry off as it does if you do so in the morning, and it encourages mildew.
