Day 82: the fatness

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

There’s much talk of sap rising in springtime – both figuratively as, buoyed by brighter days and warmer weather we start to feel an increase in energy levels, and literally, as the deciduous plants that have slept the winter away begin to move sugars from their roots to their aerial parts. It’s a phenomenon that’s hard to see (though you might just be able to hear it, with the right equipment). Instead, I tend to think of what happens during these next few weeks as a ‘fattening’, as bare sticks burst into life, and skeletal silhouettes develop the bulk and presence not seen since the autumn. It’s something impossible to miss and, from a standing start, it gathers pace with every passing day.
