shades of green...

I think that I have been looking at brown cardboard boxes for too long. I'm convinced that they multiply at night when you turn off the light- no matter how quickly I unpack them, there seems to be a never ending stack of them staring menacingly at me the next time I look.

Hence perhaps my current obssession with the garden. Or more precisely what I want to do in the garden.I need to see green things instead of brown.  I have a pile of library books on plants, planting, soil types and moon phases. Precious spare time is spent at the local nurseries with my notebook, pen and iphone on hand. I read, take notes and photos and plan.

I thought gardening was meant to be relaxing. Maybe, I  am approaching this the wrong way.  I just need to forget the botanical names and when, where and how they must ( they must, you hear !) be planted. I'll use my hands to dig a hole and drop in a handful of seeds.

Then just breathe and wait.

So lovely to see you blogging again! Maybe you could paint the cardboard boxes so it looks more like a giant game of tetris.
