So far so good, but as Sir Francis Drake said, ‘it is not the beginning but the continuing of the same…’ What, then, is the prospect?
I want to:
- Enjoy observing and understanding the horticultural problems I encounter.
- Accept that it may not always be best for the garden to be neat and tidy throughout.
- Forget ‘quick fixes’ to horticultural problems.
- Think ahead and take precautionary measures to prevent problems developing.
- Remove all synthetic chemical substances from my garden.
- Be an ambassador for organic gardening.
- Perfect the techniques of compost making – both hot and cold methods.
- Be prepared for the following problems: rose black spot; vine powdery mildew; aphids; bindweed; - Solomon’s Seal caterpillar; apple canker; bindweed; weeds in gravel paving and lawns ; juniper webber - moth; and probably others.
