(very happy today)


Gardening is mostly happy purchases. Especially plants
which have been nurtured from tiny plants or seeds for many
years into magnificent plants. My "happiest" plants were
ones grown for free from seed - a huge phormium, some
amaryllis by cross pollination and some oak trees I grew
from seed at my fathers house forty years ago. Many others
too.

I'm now watching with delight a Gunnera Manicata bought a
couple of years ago as a small specimen, it is up again
after the Winter frosts and probably won't be many years
before I can shelter under its huge leaves. That is the joy
of gardening to me.
