Strix understands some of you found last Saturday’s offering a little hard to swallow so this week he will attempt to be a little kinder – after all we can’t have the Chief Harpy of the Shrubbery threatening to bunk off!

Strix is not really into matters horticultural but as the days start to lengthen even he imagines long summer evenings reclining, drink in hand, in a deckchair in the garden with the scent of flowers and shrubs drifting by and the aroma of a fine supper emanating from the kitchen. His reveries on this pastoral idyll, however, were interrupted by Mrs Strix saying “Isn’t it time you got off your backside, out of your study, into the garden and did something useful?”

Strix managed to procrastinate for a few days when he could not find the necessary digging equipment as he couldn’t remember where he had hidden them last autumn.

Sadly Mrs Strix soon found them.

Next he tried to delay it further by insisting that a little research on the internet was necessary but when Mrs S. found him studying pictures of Holm Oaks, Ash trees, Hawthorns and Tiger lilies her patience snapped.

“Listen here you verbose indolent stuffed owl”, she hooted “we live in straitened times and we need to start trying a little self-sufficiency. Here’s a perfectly good article in today’s Telegraph showing how and where in our garden we could grow all the vegetables we might need for the next year and also have cut flowers. So off your butt and get digging.”

“Cheers, Daily Telegraph”, thought Strix bitterly, as he evicted some spiders from his wellies.
