Silent Sunday this week is all about our little bit of paradise, the orchard and potager. It is hard work but worth every back ache, rose thorn scratch, nettle sting and broken fingernail. I can't wait to start eating from the garden again - come on cherries, tomatoes, beans, courgettes (zucchini), raspberries, strawberries, onions, garlics, beetroots, plums, pears, peaches, apples, quince, squash, pumpkins, hazelnuts, walnuts, Brussels sprouts... I'm waiting!

Surely this positively forward-thinking, dreaming and salivating post deserves a comment! Enjoy every bit of gardening you can until you're too stiff to bend over very far, or have no trouble getting down, but have trouble getting back up, or your husband moves you to some inhospitable place to do much gardening, unless you like prickly pear cactus!
