(Della:)”I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older” – (Virginia Woolf). Spring in my garden today: Even 10 minutes gazing at the plants or pulling some weeds lifts my spirits. The brooding skies this afternoon created the right light and the perfect backdrop for the delicately coloured spring blossoms, and after very mixed results from the winter veggie patch this year (slugs, rabbits and early-bolting cauliflowers), I was also delighted to see the sugar-snap peas starting to produce pods and the garlic looking solid enough to rival the leeks…
…”The lark’s on the wing;/ The snail’s on the thorn;/God’s in his heaven-/All’s right with the world!” (Robert Browning, “Pippa’s Song”).
