When I was 13, I never realised how useful pythagorus would eventually prove. I can tell you, should you ever find yourself in a similar position, that setting out a regular hexagon by eye won't necessarily go according to plan. With the geometry mastered, the Long Border has been deturfed, flattened, tilled, and seeded with green manure. Unfortunately, the emerging greenness on the right is not field beans but chickweed, an overlooked edible salad leaf - but I challenge anybody to eat it in the quantities that grow here. To be honest, I have no idea what I'm going to do with this area but it feels like we've achieved something.
