It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.
Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.
Weather means more when you have a garden. There’s nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
