A Seed Once Sown
I am posting a new blog, this is something of an achievement for me.
In 2024 I spent three months in ICU at Wellington hospital and another month in rehab
recovering from surgery for aneurysms. So here I am, so pleased to
be alive and so grateful to all who cared for me over that time.
While recuperating from this I have been working on a knitted work about
the importance of the garden in sustaining our ecology, a subject which I have
often talked about before. My own garden had grown a good crop of grass while
I was away and with the wind and storms we have had this Summer it is not
in the best of shape. I have however been able to enjoy the blooms which our daughter
has produced in her garden, she is the dahlia queen!
Jekyll (1843 - 1932) the English gardener who first developed the wild garden from her
herbaceous border designs.

walled garden in the foreground.
