Following Joanna’s wonderful blog on pheasants the other week, another food-related post. About gardening. Sort of.
Well, more a ramble, really, but there is some (vaguely) writerly stuff at the end. Promise.
Confession time
Gardening? I am “NotAGardener”. There, I have said it.
“NotAGardeners” will know how inadequate they feel when they see a well tended veg patch, straight lines of leeks standing to attention, beans and peas running riot over a network of canes. Lettuces, cabbages, potatoes – to say nothing of herbaceous borders bursting with colour, flowers waiting to be picked to adorn the dining table. It would be (naturally) groaning under the weight of food I have grown, harvested and prepared with my own fair hands.
