Unfortunately I am not spending the time in the garden these days that I would like to. There are a number of factors at play here.
The long commute and workload demands have seen the time available constrict severely. Being up at 3:30am to get to work and then not getting home until 8:00pm at the earliest leaves little time throughout the week to tend to the garden. Even the 2 days I work from home I find that the hours are longer and I am not leaving my desk until 6:00pm or 7:00pm.
Weekends are also a lost cause at the moment. This is due to our enforced move thanks to our money hungry landlord. Weekends are thus spent packing the house and looking for new digs. Draining and tiring work. The sooner we can find a new place the better as then we get our weekends back.
Once we can reclaim our weekend we can then look to design a new low maintenance but productive container garden. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to help the commute and workload. We need the natural work cycle of ebbs and flows to stop flowing there.
