“Let’s find space for three short rows of Aquadulce Broad beans to be sown in November. These beans, autumn sown, mature early say in mid June, when none of us will be on holiday and we will eat them with a piece of gammon (beans and bacon are an ancient pheasant tradition) and a jug of parsley sauce and we will invite nobody but the family so that we can have a feast.”🫛

The author and her daughter, live next-door to each other in a village on England’s Brookshire Downs. Her mother wrote letters of encouragement to her daughter with helpful gardening advice, cheering support and practical gardening tips. 🪴
The best part of the book for me was seeing the delightful mother-daughter relationship between the two of them!

“Dear mother, you have referred a couple times during the year to my ‘quirky’ gardening techniques, and now in your last letter to my ‘peculiar’small beds. I am beginning to feel that I am sitting in the front row of an Edna Everage evening, having all my little nooks and crannies probed.” 🤣😂🤣

The plant invaders attack you with guile.They have smiling faces. They offer to share your property on friendly terms. They promise to help you keep it furnished and tidy. Then, they show you their true nature and swamp everything else, the cuckoos of the plant world. 🤣

At the end of one of these letters, she writes,
“You must hurry if you want to plant your tree this year, otherwise we could do some gardening visiting in the summer and choose a tree to plant next winter. You will have to shop quickly if you want a tree now…I will help you plant your tree, you and Nick doing the work while I stand by giving maddening advice.”🤣
