A lean, a stroll and a think.

I didn't spend long at the plot today, nor did I do any gardening - except in my mind!

I leant on the fence that surrounds all of our plots and just had a think. I thought about my successes this year - particularly a few nice red cabbages, strawberries and kale. I also thought about some things that I have learnt over the last couple of years. The most important thing was to work with the soil and site that you have - not against it.  Think about the plants that like the conditions you have.

I also had a quick look around the other plots. Some were covered for the winter, some dug over, some left to fend for themselves.

There is a certain feeling, though, that "planning the plot for next year" feeling, the anticipation of the spring, dreaming about being able to grow all sorts of flowers and veg. That is what December is for!
