Having been seduced by exotic seeds and tempted by Twitter I’m now getting back to the straight and narrow. I’m going to grow salads and help my fellow man. If these salads can include bamboo shoots and the helping can be done via Twitter I will, of course, be a very happy man but if not, it’s back to basics.
This is why we started Quercus Community. It was meant to be about working in the open air, growing good food and making compost. Well, it wasn’t originally about compost but give a man access to garden waste and animal manure and there can only be one result.
When I worked in the antiques trade simply breathing the air of an antique shop was enough to calm me down, in this new life I find that compost works the same magic.
Meanwhile, I have been suffering stress from both Twitter and the computer, one being fixed by the application of a sense of balance, and th eother being fixed by a pen knife. It’s probably best not to ask about that repair.
And yes, I did have to thing long and hard before selecting the three “s” words in the title…
Great title. It got my attention!
I’m OK on titles, it’s the content that needs work. 😉
Seeds take time. I’m sure they’ll give you plenty to work on.

What a great image of composting at work!
Thanks. I won’t pretend I planned it that way but I do like those lift off composters because of the way they show the layers.
I need to do mine today!
I love salad gardens! And isn’t it funny that the technology we seem to need is also that same beast that gives us the most stress? Stay strong!
Yes, it’s also remarkable how little we value it until it goes wrong. 😉
So true! Good thing we have our gardens to de-stress with.
