Quotes

To garden is to let optimism get the better of judgment.

Burial patch

This time last year I wrote about losing the bit of garden I’d cultivated for many years. I’d decided then to keep my gardening blog going but with broader horizons, and accordingly renewed the patiopatch site. The time has now come wherein it feels too much like hanging on in there instead of just burying the past.

I’ve been clearing the computer disc of the many, not-so-good floral images I’ve collected over this time and before trashing some of them, created a pixel-exploding collage. With this final flourish I thank everyone who has stopped by with encouraging comments, tips and knowledge, and inspiration from your own gardens. There is no doubt I will miss our mutual exchanges but the blogosphere is not a vacuum and inevitably our paths will cross as we all press on with ventures old and new.

By its own power seems to be undone,
