My sixth offering from a book I bought in a charity shop in the summer…..
Law of respite:
You always dreamed of a garden to relax in. Now you’ve got it, the time spent weeding it cancels out the time spent enjoying it.
Justified sloth:
Reasons against weeding the plot are always much more potent than those in favour.
Tare’s Reality:
Weeds always move in to fill a gardening vacuum.
From : ‘Mrs. Murphy’s Laws of Gardening’ – Faith Hines (Temple House books, 1992)

My second offering from a book I bought in a charity shop recently…..
Whilst on holiday in Suffolk recently, I ventured into one of several Charity Shops to look at the books, especially those on gardening. I came across a little paperback which takes a ‘sideways look’ at gardening and bought it (for the princely sum of £1) in order to share some of the best little offerings with you. For a 1990’s book it sounds a little quaint, I think, especially in relation to gender stereotyping in the garden (and elsewhere)! Tell me what you think…
