when the wind blows
« on: July 10, 2012, 04:03 »
A few weeks ago, a large typhoon ripped through my allotment. Flattened the sweet corn and sunflowers. Internet advice was to lift up and stake the fallen fellows. And/Or earth them up. So I left them and did nothing. This was because there was another typhoon on it's way. Well, the typhoon didn't come, and the sunflowers and corn righted themselves, now standing prouder than the jolly green giant.

Nature wants to grow, sunflowers want to shine, and corn wants to be eaten.

Not here it don't (not so far this year anyway!)  :nowink:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I rather suspect the Mere won't need topping up anytime soon ...   :dry:
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
