May is my favourite month. The lanes become green again, the garden springs to life and I begin forget how much I hate mud.
I am
trying to learn how to be a gardener and each year is a definite improvement on the last, but there are still either big gaps or too much stuff in one place, so this year I am planting nothing at all. I'm just going to hang in there and see what comes up - or seeds itself - or whatever. A thoroughly tended garden is not for me - so we're going for more of a slightly controlled wilderness type of a look.
However - this is a bit too wilderness/ scrapyard - even for me! I plan to plant some veges in it this summer and then decide what to do with it when the builders ( who aren't here yet) leave. That'll be next summer then . . .
