I'm doing 11 things
I have a big rambly garden. It’s never going to be a perfect landscaped design garden, and that’s not what I want anyway – but I want to reduce the watering it needs through more efficient irrigation, better mulching, check out whether a bore would be a good idea, collect more rainwater, look into recycling grey water for the garden, and figure out how to combine all these measures into an integrated watering system… any tips or ideas anyone???
I have lots of fruit trees, a big circular vegetable and herb garden, lots of Australian natives, and some cottagey type flowers and ground covers. There’s a walkthrough fernery and a conservatory. Bougainvilleas and lots of hanging baskets full of flowers and ferns and fuschias. Wandering paths everywhere made of old red bricks. You can get lost in my garden.
There is one large corner of the garden that I havent made into a garden yet – I’d like it to be a Japanese-style meditation garden overlooking the vegetable circle. And I’d like to build a really nice-looking henhouse and yard and get some hens again to convert kitchen scraps into fresh organic eggs.

I read that forgiveness is giving up on trying to change the past. I like that. When I think of it that way I realise that I dont even want to change the past because [1] it’s an absurd notion and [2] the past (all of it) is what has got me here here and I like where I am now. So it makes sense to just accept the reality of what has happened before and let it go. I’ve come a long way on this … but not there yet.
