Gardening/farming provides us with a lot of spiritual lessons, and Graeme's garden has been no exception. He has put a lot of effort into it, and we have enjoyed the fruit of his labours. We have eaten broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, chillis, parsley, lettuce, tomatoes, beet root, carrots, spring onions, pumpkin, spinach, basil, egg plant. The cats enjoy the garden, and enjoy being with him when he works in it. HOWEVER, the nasties (white fly, caterpillars, aphids, powdery mildew, snails, etc) also enjoy the fruit of Graeme's labour, and for the moment, he has given in to them. The garden is in "recess" while he digs everything up, before starting over again.
