It won’t fit
July 9, 2005
This last week I officially inherited a kitchen garden. My dear friend KvR facilitated the entire affair in my absence and took this photograph of the allotment overlaid with my planting wishlist. As you can see I have not been blessed with a practical mind but KvR put things into perspective for me with the illustration above.
All advice concerning cover crops and creating espalliers in tubs is welcome. Good espalliers make good neighbours! The area floods every 3 years or so and I was planning on keeping the expensive fruit trees mobile until they can hold their own against the flood waters.

Inspiration-in-law

This graphic design jewel is the image of a kitchen garden planting scheme made by the mother of a friend of mine. At the time of it’s creation, said mother was also mother-in-law of my dear friend KvR and it was the first thing I noticed when I walked into her apartment.

In the rice-maker the grains of wild rice had aligned themselves practically in the same direction. If I can repeat this action I will most surely open up a rice circus.
