The Time Capsule - Leisure Time

From Parsnips to Poppies 2003

I really enjoy gardening, but gone are the days when I could dig and delve with the best of them!

A year before this photograph was taken I had been struggling to grow vegetables here. The quality of the soil, a huge conifer hedge and my aching back didn't help, so I abandoned the idea and scattered poppy seeds instead. Much easier.

What you see here is the result.
