cybermuleMy plans for the year in my garden are:
- To finish the herbaceous border
- To grow potatoes in tubs with catch crops on top
- to organise my vegetable production
- to shoo away some of the bark chips and spot plant some prairie style grasses
That last one was something I've been planning for a while, but was signed and sealed by the Around the World in 80 gardens last night - the prairies there were really inspirational, and I'd love something like that in my garden, interespresed with shorter meadow grass so Ben can play next year.
The TV series is a little patchy IMO. I was really looking forward to it because I thought Monty Don was rock'n'roll, and my opinion of him has been tarnished slightly but his butt-kissing in places. But I don't really go along with most of the criticism I've read about him being a bit of a poseur. I think he's a posh bloke, with some affected daffiniess, but I also think he's genuinely enthusiastic about gardens, and I like that.
Mine and 0ct0pus' 20-year plan is now to see octomule to adulthood, then get round-the-world tickets and visit aquaria and gardens for a year or two.
