Weeds are growing faster than anything else and at times it feels as though the garden is straining to run away and escape from even the most conscientious gardener
May is the unfurling of butterflies’ wings and the breaking of the clouds to reveal an infinite landscape – it is even as joyous as the first smile of recognition on a baby’s face. It is the point in the year when light and growth soar to reveal not just the trembling beauty of the world around you but also unlimited promise ahead. So every precious May moment has to be treasured and honoured.
Mind you, May is never easy. It gives with overflowing generosity but it can ask a lot of gardeners too. The weather is often fickle. It can be shockingly cold and deceptively warm – sometimes on consecutive days.
