“A gardening journal can be a wonderful place to retire when heat, cold or weariness keep us at a distance from our gardens. In this busy world, business and travel keep us away from our gardens more than we like. On your next long flight, why not take your journal with you. You can use it to work out your grand plans instead of watching some insipid movie. Perhaps the salad would taste better as you remember the tomatoes from your own garden. Perhaps the coach seats won’t seem so small if you are thinking of the bench in your own garden.“
