My garden isn't next to my house. It is along the road, up a lane and across an overgrown path. It is very large but I hate gardening and because I can't see it from the house it is a case of out of sight, out of mind. It is at least 5 months since I went up there so I wasn't surprised to see that the triffids had once again taken over and had completely buried the lavender bushes, the fruit bushes and were desperately trying climb up the fruit trees.
However on parting the triffids I was surprised to see that the lavender bushes were trying to survive and there were even blue flowers appearing on them. Further over there were big, fat red strawberries just waiting to be eaten, if only I could get to them. What a sorry sight but also encouraging that nature continues to attempt survival despite my best efforts to annihilate it. I was impressed but not enough to plunge in and try to clear it. The task is just to huge and I did cut the bushes back outside my house this morning. I will make an effort one day but oh dear I just felt a spot of rain.
