An Organic Garden




Today I went with my gardening chums to Pete Woollam's organic vegetable and fruit garden at the back of Alderley Edge. The weather forecast was not good as we were on the tail end of Hurricane Bill but as one of our members said "It will be an adventure!" Fortunately the afternoon stayed dry and 9 of us browsed and sampled this wonderful plotof land. There were lots of edible unusual plants that we had never heard of - like huckleberries and wine berries. And lots of grassy paths to explore with hidden corners - all mingled with a profusion of flowers to attract beneficial insects. No harmful chemicals are needed in this garden.




Pete is talking to a gate-crasher as we are a group of all women!
