Blackberries

Blackberry Bramble– shake two measures of gin, one of freshly squeezed lemon juice and half a measure of sugar syrup together and serve with ice, blackberries, and a sprig of rosemary.

The perfect autumn salad layers a bed of leaves with walnuts, caraway seeds and beetroot, add prosciutto, warm goats’ cheese, and blackberries, then dress with vinaigrette.

Garden Design Layout

I have plants picked out but don’t know how to design a layout for the best visual impact. what is your advice?

  1. Plant in mass, as this approach has the most visual impact.
  2. Group like plants together.
  3. Plant more of each variety, and fewer varieties in total.
  4. Make sure to include trees, shrubs, and evergreens in your plan. Single specimens offer a place for your eyes to rest.
  5. Consider adding sculptural elements like a path or a well-placed boulder.

The Courage

May I have the courage today to live the life that I would love To postpone my dream no longer But do at last what I came here for And waste my heart on my fear no more.

Try it: Write about a time when you were afraid to do something and did it anyway. How did it feel before and after? What did you learn from that experience?
