So to shake off the feeling that I've just been mugged I spent a couple of hours today helping plant out a forest garden at Silverhill Primary School with Transition Derby. Not the kind of gardening I've seen before so very interesting and great to be part of a bunch of people working together creating something positive for the future. More useful than an election any day.
Back on the plot we're still desperate for rain; I've watered the cabbages as they were looking a bit pathetic but I'm letting everything else fend for itself. I'm a great believer in not cosseting my plants but encouraging them to put down deep roots - there is moisture down there at this early stage in the season.
Isn't that an oxymoron Simon? If you don't vote, how can you try to change what you don't like?
