So then came along a journo who interviewed Zesty Lestie
He asked all sorts of serious questions, believe it! None were jesty
He spoke of pots and plants and blooms and things pesty
He asked for her potting and ground secrets ... and she said "Yesty."

Now how is it that you have such sweet pots sans the mess-ty
of re-potting, re-planting, re-using, come! come! be confesty,
To which she replied "Of course, why not? Be my guesty,"
"It's the interest I have in things green, read on ... it's my questy."

Alas too, he heard how she wished for the birds to be nesty
in her potted trees, but they listened not to her be-hesty
Most ignored her pleas 'cept one fat grey chap with a fine cresty
That visited for water, seeds and fruit - from the westy.

Journo asked for her favourites, but he got no answer from Lestie
"There are too many great plants - so there can be no contesty,
From plant type to colours to weather, for you, you'll know what's besty,
Just choose your own and you'll see ... the history will be the resty!"

Now when it comes to figgings and diggings and riggings and all
xmeecosmic is so right, it's the chatter and care in love with which we all fall!

O dear and thanks I am smiling smiling smiling! Cheers now ...

Rotton Tomatoes

Tomatoes vrot
are certainly not
What I would want to eat!
So when it come to harvesting the reds,
I always find my fast feet.

*vrot in Afrikaans, 'v' pronounced as an 'f' means rotton etc.

Okay all, please join in again and thanks xmeecosmic.

Cheers now

Now when it comes to ethics
It's surely a case of pathetics
When it's all GMO
and we don't always know
and there's much that's not nice
and of life you can't take your sussed slice.

***************************************************************

P S

Day by day
this game I can play
poetering around;

So if you like to grow things green
and you can host earthworms unseen
There's fun in pottering to be found.


Cheers now!

COLE SLAW: Shred some cabbage and carrots. Add some raisins and pineapple. Season and mix with mayonnaise. What the hey it may not be gourmet and perhaps this recipe is odd or even flawed but after all it's only going to be slawed.

GALANGAL: Galangal is a root definitely not found in Beirut as it is an ingredient used in many a Thai dish. Peppery is its taste- But some by its looks may confuse it for ginger. Yet if they do try not to gringer.

BEAN SPROUTS: Bean sprouts fresh, white and crisp add zip to many a Chinese dish- From Fried Rice to Egg Foo Yung to Whole Steamed Fish. Yet those mung sprouts when turned brown, limp, and slimyish All you can do is throw them outs.

Are you easily detached from the things you should do?
Like weeding or watering and tidying too?
Will you ever be able to pretty pots pitch woo?
Of course you will so move through your boo hoo!

Perennials coming up - cheers now

There once was a lass named Celeste-a gardener among the very best who preferred to be called Lestie living life with utmost zesty. She was so coy with every boy none of whom she would try to please, exasperatedly they called her Lestease.

THE LYCHEE: Fresh they are peachy while canned are far too sweetchy. So when out of season you should keep the lychee out of reachee.
