Nasturtiums, Sunflowers and A Poem

Our excellent and very efficient team at Roots today potted on tray upon tray of courgettes and squash of many different kinds while outside others prepped beds, weeded and planted more of the 8,000 onions – such a busy morning. In one of the poly-tunnels, the nasturtiums are already flourishing.

We have brought back some spare sunflower plants, part of today’s volunteer harvest, to grow here in our garden.

I picked up the poetry book, ‘Being Alive’ edited by Neil Astley to choose one for today and the book fell open at this poem which seemed very apt as I read it through.

I did, in fact ,share this once before in May 2016.  I think it sums up being grateful for what we have each day as tomorrow may well bring something ‘otherwise’. It is certainly one to ponder.
