JONQUILS & ENGLISH BLUEBELLS INSTEAD..

"Of what", I hear YOU all ask.. Well.. 

WE thought Lily of the Valley would be in that pretty vase beside HER bed tonight but when SHE went to pick Miss Lily.. she was still faast asleep!

Meanwhile, from underneath the Apple trees, pretty Miss Jonquil was waving and saying "I'll come" and some English Bluebells were nodding their little heads saying "we'll come too", so WE have pretty blue and yellow people to look at, with their beautiful perfumes to scent the room, are WE not lucky. 
SHE counted over fifty Lily of the Valley, FIFTY! 
From the original nine.. In three years!

They are very strange, the information always says they like to be planted somewhere shady and a bit moist. Huh well, this lot don't! 

For they have sneaked away from the 'moist and shady' area where SHE planted them and are now living the 'Life of Riley' in the Rose bed which is quite dry and gets full sunshine! There will be lots and lots to pick in about a weeks time. 

And all of HER plans have changed! No more culture vulturing.. no more leaving ME at home with the radio, I will go and play at the garden! 
Yippee and maybe even blow 'the' whistle at the Under Elevens!!

SHE has remembered there is a nice man called David, he knows how to mend machines, so that very norty McCullough grass trimmer will be taken on a jaunt to Feltham to be overhauled.

Early bed for us tonight, early start to the garden tomorrow, lots to do. The potatoes went in today, 'Charlottes, First Pentlands, Sharps, Pink Fir'.. and another couple of varities I don't know the names of. WE love to eat potatoes in this house, as YOU probably have guessed! 

Stay fit and happy Dear Readers.. go and work in the fresh air in YOUR gardens, for Spring has sprung!

Yawn.. Off to Noddy's Land I go.. pip pip.

GeeGee Parrot.
