Not only because there is a lot to see in it, it is also a symbol for many things in our lives. Besides, I get a lot of pleasure from creating a garden. And gardening is also very healthy.
A gardener's job, for better or for worse |
Strung all too easily in beads of verse.
No strong no ruthless plough-share cutting clods,
No harrow toothed as the saurian jaws,
Shall tear or comb my sward of garden theme,
But smaller spade and hoe and lowly trowel |
And ungloved fingers with their certain touch.
After the first really autumnal weekend, a quick look at my two gardens. Into the physical autumn garden here in Wuppertal and a look into my box of notes, in which some things have also matured on the subject of autumn in summer.
The decorative sage is a real, wonderfully blue flowering enrichment for the perennial garden, along with the true sage or spice sage Salvia officinalis.
