You're right, I know quite a bit about gardening on limestone... and clay... and in southern England, which leaves whole realms of gardening about which I have no idea. Yes, the best thing about gardening is you'll never know it all - that's daunting at times, but definitely a positive thing on the whole.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-39818191931153185112015-12-03T11:36:39.148+00:002015-12-03T11:36:39.148+00:00And you Lea!And you Lea!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-54990138282315946672015-12-03T11:35:39.539+00:002015-12-03T11:35:39.539+00:00Food for thought Hetty - I think there are some go...Food for thought Hetty - I think there are some good gardens made in a lifetime, but they can never be called finished gardens, no garden is ever finished.

She told me that growing tomatoes in the greenhouse had become a little too arduous for her, so she was turning her attention to cacti and succulents. She was rather thrilled about this because it was opening up a whole new area of gardening about which she knew little. She was a voracious reader and I suspect that she was learning until the day she died, just short of her 100th birthday. She told me that one of the best things about gardening is that you will never know it all. <br />Here's to lifelong learning!

I hate the term expert, I think as soon as you start to consider yourself an expert in anything you have totally missed the point. <br /> When I used to deliver IT courses I was often referred to as the expert. My response was you can never be an expert when it comes to using a computer. I think gardening is the same. There is just so much to learn and things keep changing.
