Easy Gardens(The potting shed)

Easy Gardens (The potting shed)  There is nothing like the little retreat from the world in venturing into the potting shed, full of little things collected over time that assist in the  cultivation of plants. Here all the worries  of the outside grow distant and all the plans and implements for next years garden come into use. A retreat from the weather but also much more than that a retreat from life, as they say about fishermen the time they spend fishing will be returned at the end of their lives. So too  this time spent in the potting shed is truly your own. The smells are of a different world of growing and newness and things to come.

I think most gardeners would think all of the above to be true, but the potting shed is the place of industry in the preperation of plants before they ever get out into the garden, pots and compost and dibbers and labels and packets of seeds collected in tins of different shapes and sizes all for the production of next years plants. It matters not that it may be torrential rain or snow outside, total darkness all these events do not stop the industrious gardener from his task. Most gardeners will not think it a task at all but tell you that time in the real world travels much faster and time spent in the potting shed goes by in an instant although many hours have in fact gone by.

Then as a warm tiredness or a shout from the house that it is late  brings the gardener to his bed with a warm sense that much has been completed and a return to the potting shed is not so far away, as he drifts off too sleep with thoughts  his safely growing plants a gardeners life is a good life after all.

May you all enjoy your gardening. M.J. Gardeningtipbooks.com
