Today I spent some time making a map of my allotment garden. I placed all the perennials in their places, and now I can easily see the spaces available )the empty squares are empty garden beds) for annuals. Annuals are plants that only live for a year. In colder climates many plants are grown as annuals. I also planned when I have to start each annual on the long list of vegetables and flowers that I am planning on growing this year. I have a garden journal that I’ve had for several years. I take monthly notes on what I do at the allotment, successes and failures. It’s been a very fun day and I feel grateful.

Would you like to join me in this Daily Gratitude Practice 2026?
