I agree, there is some comfort that comes with tradition and nostalgia.

I love the curiosity of the Victorians, and their obsessions where gardens are concerned.

Have you run across a series of books called the Shire Garden History series? Amazon has some, little books, filled with pictures, obsolete terms, and little known, but fascinating, facts…all leading to ideas.

I have always longed for a greenhouse , but with limited real estate I expect that will never happen, so I will continue to enjoy yours virtually.
