It's amazing how much time one can spend in a garden doing nothing at all. I sometimes think, in fact, that the nicest part of gardening is walking around in a daze, idly deadheading the odd dahlia, wondering where on earth to squeeze in yet another impulse buy, debating whether to move the recalcitrant artemisia one more time, or daydreaming about where to put the pergola.
The original Greek meaning of the word anthology is a collection or gathering of flowers in bloom.
Because a garden mean constantly making choices, it offers almost limitless possibilities for surprise and satisfaction.
