Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Christmas is wonderful, of course it is, but when the frenzy is done and the motorway miles have been reeled in, a kind of peace descends until the new year. And perhaps I’m projecting, but it seems the landscape feels it too – this lull, this void, this bleak and nourishing pause. It’s a time when all the thoughts of next year’s garden that have been floating about – in my head, scribbled into notebooks or journals, thumbed into the phone or recorded on camera – begin to coalesce, possibilities drifting into a blank screen to be accepted, dismissed, or rejigged before being allowed to make their contribution. It’s also, of course, when I have a tentative scout around to see if there are any tulips left, as I’ve still not planted any. I am immensely relaxed about this. It is Betwixtmas, after all, and stressing over such things just now would be entirely inappropriate.
