Pinned at the nursery
News, market days, events and the occasional entirely unnecessary garden musing. The website is our first update. The rest? A person with a keyboard, some imaginary stationery and plants they really ought to be tending.
Real news will find its place here as the nursery grows. Until then, thank you for joining this very elaborate tea break.
A little milestone
The nursery now has a home on the internet. There are plants to discover, plans for shared growing and a place for the news as it happens. Our physical home and online range are still taking root. When we have market dates, events or offers to share, this is where we’ll pin them.
A note from the potting bench
I sat down to write a sensible update. Then I remembered we don’t have another one yet. So now I’m arranging bits of paper on a screen while my actual plants are outside, wondering what on earth I’m doing. A welcome distraction, apparently. Yours too, by the look of it.
No horticultural qualification required
A robin perches, bright and free.
“How lucky we are,” we say, “to see.”
He peers through glass: “Then tell me why
You choose a screen over all this sky?”
Soon, my friend. I’m nearly through.
One final caption. Maybe two.
Attendance: one fern
The fern said nothing. The mint attempted to take over. The lavender requested a sunnier desk. We agreed to revisit the matter after watering. Nobody took minutes, so this may not be entirely accurate.
An increasingly unnecessary update
You’ve now read more placeholder notes than most people read seed packets. We admire the commitment. Somewhere, a kettle is wondering where you’ve gone. Mine has boiled twice. I’ve watered neither the tea nor the plants.
Developing very slowly
I checked. Still a leaf. Meanwhile, I’ve moved this note three pixels to the left and back again. One of us is using the afternoon well, and it isn’t the one with the keyboard.
We’re in quite deep now
You’re still here. I’m still here. Somewhere outside, a perfectly good garden is happening without us. I could go and water something, but first this note clearly needs a title. There. Much more urgent.
Thank you for indulging us
All this waffle will eventually make excellent compost. Until the real updates arrive, consider this a small reminder that not every moment needs to be productive. Now go and look at an actual plant. We’ll still be here.
