No idea!

No idea!

The garden’s had a soaking –

Something you thought

You’d never hear me say!

And in view of the bulbs and seeds

We needed some rain,

As they were planted with

Love just today.

I’ve sowed some Sage

Other herbs and Coriander,

It’s rather uncanny and strange

I want to tempt the Bees

And Butterflies

With a Buddleia -

Now I’m middle aged!

I’ve planted some fruit

Turned over a new leaf!

A plastic greenhouse to boot -

You must be in disbelief

That Blueberry, raspberry

And tomato and rocket

Have started to sprout shoots!

Am taking an interest

And wanting to grow

Some stuff of my own

Though I’ve been a bit slow,

But just to let you know

There’s even a Strawberry plant

On the shelves down below.

I hope the sunflowers

Grow high and reach heaven,

Then you can send a shower

If they did get so tall!

And you will be enthralled

That this useless gardener

Has no idea at all!
