Day 6: Bricking it

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

When we originally laid out the garden, I always intended a path of old red bricks winding its way between beds. For various reasons it’s yet to happen, and while a sinuous grassy path is not a thing to be sniffed at, turf doesn’t make for the most practical of surfaces for the major route through your garden in winter, especially when it’s over Kentish clay. Puddles tend to happen, mud ensues, and the whole experience is rather less blissful an experience than it would be were you treading and trundling along a thoroughfare of more robust character. Perhaps I’ll get around to it this year, at which point, according to the First Law of Sod, no doubt something will happen to make it necessary for us to move house, and strangers will get to enjoy winter gardening sans quagmire.
