Growth


























Caroline

Growth a noun meaning amongst other things;
the act or process, or a manner of growing; development; gradual increase.

To me the above sentence relates to many aspects of what it is or means to “grow your own”. I enjoy the satisfaction of picking edibles or beautiful things from the garden and wish to do this wonderful course sometime soon.

new growth and old
speed of growth varies, an avocado takes around 7 years to fruit, a lemon 2 years and mint is ready within a few months, all of which no matter the time taken to produce give great satisfaction

avocado
lemon
mint

    1. I have seen your avocado, so much bigger than mine, I have tried to grown another but to no avail, they won't sprout. Yes I grew the lemon from seed take out of a lemon I cooked with, I cut off the outer shell then left it on a wet tissue for a week to germinate and then planted it and it grew, a year old now
