I'm not a fan of Will Self's poetry, but this piece about gardening as a reflection of our mortality made me smile. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34538014
Will's childhood experience in the garden - climbing trees and digging holes - is more like my gardening. I really enjoy just being out there with the bugs and birds and dirt. I'm not a decking person - I prefer to sit on the grass. Love growing veg and fruit because home-grown is pesticide-free and in any case I hate to shop. But everything else is really just watching what happens - and wonder.
