Hi,
I'm currently writing a novel in which the hero's wife is a keen
gardener (probably a member of the RHS etc). Would anyone here be
willing to give me advice as to what she might have in her garden
(upper middle class, near Hampstead) and what she would be doing in
it at different seasons? You will get my thanks and an
acknowledgement in the published book.

What a fascinating question! I think the other Mike's jaundiced view
is unlikely to apply, at least in its entirety, to Hampstead, though.

She is also bound to be a member of the WI and might grow flowers, fruit (for
jam making) for the club fetes. She might also open her garden up under the
yellow Book scheme......

It seems to me to be a tricky subject to tackle if you know little or nothing
about gardening.

Why not give her some other hobby you know more about ?
