Rain every night, a good steady fall,
Warm sun all day, and no wind at all.
Earth light and soft, easy to seed,
No couch at all, not even a weed.
All seeds germinate, the carrots no gaps,
Just simple thinning, I was a happy lass.
Broad beans grew well, no sign of black fly,
Runners went mad reaching for the sky.
Pigeons found other brassicas to munch,
Sparrows did not want my peas for lunch.
No slugs seen, there was not a snail,
Across the ground, no silvery trail.
Molluscs and birds left strawberries alone,
Red and ripe but firm they had grown.
With currants and gooseberries the bushes were bowed,
Salad crops, in abundance grew all around,
Parsnips and carrots were long straight and true.
Potatoes were large, the best I have seen,
No scab or holes, soil fell away clean.
Harvesting produce, the weather just right,
Not one insect wanted to bite.
Suddenly the sound of wind and of rain,
I had fallen asleep in the shed again!
Warm sun all day, and no wind at all.
Earth light and soft, easy to seed,
No couch at all, not even a weed.
All seeds germinate, the carrots no gaps,
Just simple thinning, I was a happy lass.
Broad beans grew well, no sign of black fly,
Runners went mad reaching for the sky.

No slugs seen, there was not a snail,
Across the ground, no silvery trail.

Red and ripe but firm they had grown.

I had fallen asleep in the shed again!
How beautiful.
Very good also!
