I love Monty Don – I thought that no-one could ever take the special place in my heart occupied by Geoff Hamilton of blessed memory – but Monty has such a gentle passion for the earth about him. As everything is peeping above the surface now wanting to push upwards and grow, here’s a quote of Monty’s I liked – in a very straightforward way it speaks to me of the inexorable movement of the seasons and of the release that comes when we give in to the majestic flow of life:
“You cannot cheat nature. You can’t lie to a pig that needs feeding or a plant that’s got to be grown“
