And a very good evening to YOU, Dear Readers..
All is well in our household, there was major change of plan as North End Road Market is never in full swing first day after a Bank Holiday, so SHE took advantage of glorious day and went to dig in garden.. I say dig but actually, SHE always uses a fork, that way poor ole earth worms don't get the chop.
WE had a torrential rain on Saturday, it did not last very long but a good amount fell, enough to make ground workable, which is certainly wasn't before.. it has not rained since first days of the Olympics.. so ground very dry indeed.
Anyway, nice and easy to work ground meant SHE was able to turn over big bed where Black Currant bushes are and on end plot, SHE turned over HUGE bed where SHE is going to plant Garlic and Onions. In front of this is a raised bed already prepared for Broad Beans that SHE will plant in October.
SHE practises crop rotation and takes it a bit further as SHE leaves one whole plot fallow each year. This year will be plot where fruit trees are in raised beds.. usually SHE sows a salad or bean crop under trees but this year those beds will be weeded, manured and left.
SHE has never had luck growing Strawberries.. Mister Slimy-Slug gets there first, so along fence on end plot SHE will put in Autumn fruiting Raspberries.. SHE picked a big box today.. did I get a look in? HUH..
And writing HUH.. brings ME to title of Post..
SHE came back, WE had kisses and cuddles and went YumYum HQ.. ooh.. chicken bones and carcass for ME, chicken and vegetables for HER, after crunching and munching MY bones, I was unwise enough to saunter over to HER plate and make off with large chunk of carrot.. not a good idea. I was called very rude words and put onto Goosie Head Perch but taste of cooked in stock carrot had been toooo delicious, so I bounced off Goosie Head and onto HER head.. YOU see, I am really 'very' fond of cooked carrot..
SHE did laugh, I give HER that, BUT, Dear Readers.. SHE called ME "RED BUM"..
Red Bum! Red Bum.. Shock.. horror.. WHO does SHE think SHE is.. well, SHE can't fly!
But it is past nine of clock.. late for small 'red bummed' person to be awake, I am off to bed.. but fear not, don't worry Dear Readers.. I'll think of something suitably awful to call HER.. under MY breath.
GeeGee Parrot.
