We grabbed the opportunity of the end of winter to dig up the back garden. We planted salads, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, peas and many herbs as well as many flowers to feed the soul.
After escaping the concrete jungle of Canary Wharf we were so excited to have our garden and the opportunity to create a little Eden of our own that we dug relentlessly for a few days.
Our neighbours could not believe it! Why did we come all the way from London to do some gardening... They were so impressed by our zeal that they gave us many seeds and plants as well as plenty of advice which we needed.
Mariya impressed our neighbour most of all when she planted the rose bush upside down with the roots in the air... she's a city girl after all.
We survived last winter with a lot of help from all our neighbours who gave us preserves. For next winter we have to be ready and give something back.
