He had middle class connections and learned the cultural capital communications of the middle class (how to charm with words and put down the poor) to become who he was this coupled with talent.
I'd love to hear more of this. Where is your information sourced from? I was told there were substantial real estate investments, but it was so rare in those days for someone of his background to be able to improve their financial state or move up the social scale
the borders are great but the orchard and veggie patch are just awful, they look like a desert. Why all this naked soil ? It has nothing but drawbacks : you need more water, you need to weed it all the time, it promotes erosion, poor soil and disease, it's just nuts. I know it's how people think it should be done but it's not... Either mulch, cover crops, or perennial covers (like white clover) and it works so much better, it's also so much more pleasing to the eye. You then don't have this hideous bare earth everywhere...
I love how passionate you are about gardens. And I love your videos! Thank you.
