Good morning to you all! And here, in deepest Knightsbridge, it is an extremely GOOD morning! For the sky is blue, the sun is ris, it IS mighty cold but hey, it's Winter, it's supposed to be chilly billy at this time of the year.
It's so that the earth can go to sleep and have a rest, the plants will all snuggle down and rejuvenate themselves and hopefully, it will be cold enough this year to kill those obscene slugs that ravaged the allotment last year.
The Peonies benefit from seriously low temperatures and we have noticed that Roses and fruits of all descriptions do as well. You humans just have to wear more layers! I wish mine would grow faster..
She has been busy helping a friend pack up her flat, she has to move out whilst major building works are done. We know exactly what she'll go through except her works will all be done at the same time, not in dribs and drabs like ours.
But with weather like this, she will get in lots of day's work at the allotments and there is much to do! The Clematis Montana Mayleen has taken down the front fence by the gate, she will be cut right down to the ground, don't worry, she'll come back smelling delicious, also the Rosamundi Rose will be pruned at the same time.
Likewise with Gloire de Dijon Rose who grows along the front fence, she's waving at the clouds and has to be cut right down and as for those brambles! Huh, their days are numbered, that's for sure.
Now, that's all the good news.. the rest is all,veryvery sad..
In my last post, I raved about Lentils and how delicious they were. Read on Dear Readers, for I have bad and sad news.
She cooked them last week, was it on Thursday or Friday? And over the weekend, I think it was the same night, she started to itch as numerous hives appeared allover her body and she thought to herself "Oh no, don't tell me I'm allergic to this new batch of eye drops.." so Boots changed the eye drops for a new packet.
Each night we ate these delicious things, yum, so scrummy! And later each evening and into the night she itched or tried not to, these wretched hives. Until last night.. when she picked up a packet of Black Beans, which said on the packet..
'Those allergic to Wheat and Barley should not eat these as they are used in the manufacturing process', then she picked up, a packet of Green Lentils and found to her horror.. the same message. So it is something that you MUST and should be aware of..
And, oh dear, she has achy fingers with swollen joints and hives, so I don't think we'll be eating any beans or lentils in this house again.
GeeGee Parrot.
