E.F. Schumacher with his 'Small is beautiful'
dictum, really got it right when you come to think of its implications in the garden. If
you are starting a garden, start with a small area, small fruit, vegetable and flower
cultivars and small tools. As your passion grows everything else can too. |

Protection is the name of the garden game in
spring. Everything is growing fast and the insects multiplying rapidly as the weather
warms and fungal diseases spread with the humidity. No time to rest. Thank God for longer
days. |
