My garden doesn’t grow quickly enough.
I’m green-fingered anyway, but the lockdown is meaning that I am spending more time than usual in the garden. I check on my growing vegetables more times than I really should, leading to a very disappointing feeling when I discover they haven’t grown since the last time I looked.
This year, I’ve planted:
- potatoes,
- carrots,
- tomatoes,
- broccoli,
- beetroot,
- beans
- peas,
- mangetout,
- lettuce and
- strawberries.
So far, apart from a few green shoots, nothing. I planted three weeks ago, and done a Prince Charles on them, but nothing. Am I being unreasonable? Yes – yes, I am!
How can I become more patient with my garden? Or does my garden just need to recognise it needs to hurry up this year?
