Did YOU know that gardeners get things for free?
Today, after going to see those lovely men at the ironmongers' shop in Streatham Hill, SHE jumped from one bus to another and wiggled HER way across London to the allotments.. sadly, I was not on this jaunt.. but it would have been one hell of a bumpy ride, that's for sure!
There was so much to do.. as SHE had planted all the cauliflowers, cabbages and celery, they had to be caged to prevent those flying thieves, aka pigeons, from stripping them bare.
Along with a sharpener for the hand shears, four rolls of galvanised metal mesh had gone into old wicker, along with some very clever clips.
The wire was in rolls and wanted to stay rolled.. SHE did not have time to fool around, SHE undid the roll, slapped two planks of wood on it, trod on the planks and that was that, flat wire.
Then plumbers' pipe was attached to the top and the bottom, four stout sticks were stuck into the ground and these were attached to the four sides, then with plastic mesh over the top.. hey presto.. one pigeon proof cabbage and cauliflower bed.
The celery was planted in three ditches, it will need to be 'earthed' up and tied up later on, these are amongst the garlic, they grow very happily together but they would just hate to be near any beans.. ugh!
Whilst SHE was planting the last few celery, SHE un-earthed a huge amount of Centipedes, who all whizzed away at high speed and it made HER laugh as SHE realised they can't dance the dance that SHE was taught by Mister Bill.
A Texan Two Step is not possible for these little people.. they have a hundred legs, it would have to be a Line Dance! What a lovely, silly thought, just think of lines of Centipedes Line Dancing!
SHE is off to see the Medical Team tomorrow at the hospital for HER six month appointment and SHE has everything written down so that nothing will be forgotten to be told to them.. there is going to be a lot of 'egg' on a couple of people's faces.. not one drop will be on HERS.
So 'ninny-byes' time it is.. WE had lamb fillet and broccoli for supper.. I am full and SHE is tired.
Oh.. what things do gardeners get for free? Strong muscles and a great suntan! SHE looks as if SHE has been to somewhere very exotic!
GeeGee Parrot.
