Make an icing rose







Red Geranium


We are children of God
Made by God - thus made of love
To love is what we need to learn
To love is what we forgot in our past
Love is deep inside our hearts
Nothing to learn - but something to free
By dissolving our ego in sacred love from God
Do the love prayer
practice love in your life - open for God's bliss and love
to be again children of love
in our hearts and souls ... forever and ever

The gift of love is buried deep inside you
just like an apple seed knows how to become an apple tree
we know how to be loving again
if we learn how to free our seed of love given by God
if we learn to dissolve our ego by means of love

The sacred teachings of love are given to you as a gift from God
to help you to free your love again
and to return home to God
In album God Cards - Prayers and Love

Fruit is always a big thing at Tatton, more so than at other shows because, of course, now is the time when the berries are ripening and looking luscious and tempting. So I was looking forward to meeting Sharon Hockenhull on her garden, 'Be Fruitful'.

It's a back to back designed to show how a small space can be productive and child friendly yet still look modern and stylish. As Sharon points out, a fruit garden was the obvious choice - growing veg is hard work if you are a working mother. Her children are three and five and she runs her own gardening business.

For children, having things like strawberries and apples ready to pick and eat in their own garden is wonderful. No boring digging and cooking involved, it's instant food. Sharon has some great ideas for fun ways to grow fruit ( www.theplantswoman.co.uk). I particularly like the idea of making a wigwam of poles and growing thornless raspberries and/or blackberries over it, a few strawberry plants round the outside and the kids have a fruity den.

Fruit growing involves much less day to day management than most vegetables and the rewards are high. You plant the trees or bushes and they will crop year after year, with increasing yields.

It's these increasing yields that bother Sharon, so much goes to waste, particularly apples and pears. She has had the bright idea to initiate Fruitshare the aim being, to make surplus fruit available to others.

She has nominated the 24th/25th October as Fruitshare weekend. People who want to take part can register their address and those who want fruit can come round and get it. You could either put your excess fruit in bags outside your house or have an open day and have a bit of a party. Sounds like a fruity date for the diary!
