I am an Unruly Gardener

I am an unruly gardener, likely a lazy gardener, definitely a quirky one and no doubt a combination of all three! No uniform little rows, manicured lawns or perfect flower beds for me! Oh, I start off with good intentions, inspired by many books and seed catalogues, dreaming of all that I will grow in my little space, buying enough seeds for my whole neighbourhood! And I imagine all those perfect beds of herbal medicine along with all the vegies and fruit that I could ever want! Oh it is so perfect! But then, I squirm with discomfort, seeing the work it takes, the relentless hours of weeding, thinning, hoeing and I shiver inside!
