My garden. Let’s define terms; ‘garden’ can be misleading, can lead to unrealistic expectations—and nobody likes that. So. What we’re talking about here is what’s outside the house; a biggish amount of rock-filled ground hacked from surrounding woodlands. Though that’s kind of backwards. What’s more accurate is to think of it as an amount of clear ground—when it became clear, I don’t know, certainly by the end of the 19th cent—that has been kept free of encroaching trees and brambles. Mostly. I no longer mow the grass. Well, not all the grass, I do mow some, to make it clear that I don’t mow from choice not just laziness. I like the way it looks, how it changes over the course of a year, as well how it provides cover for insects and birds, and winter feed for deer (more about them later). They’ll crop it to the ground.
