It took me ten years of gardening to consider planting a tree. I have relatively valid excuses: for seven years I gardened on modest balconies, where bringing a 40cm × 40cm pot up three flights of stairs felt like a bold move. But I’ve had access to land at ground level for three years now, and it’s still taken a fair bit of courage.
There’s something), but one season in your garden will only exist for that moment: you’ll never witness the same combination of weather or plant magic again.
