    Oh Those Russians.....

    Thanks to a neighbour I have one Black Cherry and one Black Russian tomato plant in the greenhouse. The Black Russian has - naturally - earned himself the name "Rasputin" but this has the unfortunate effect of forcing me to break into a lively chorus of the popular Boney M hit. I am convinced that the people living adjacent to my plot think I have some sort of serious problem! What with generally chatting to Beau, berating Mr and Mrs Blackbird for eating my blueberries, yelling at Mole to "Stop tunneling up my paths, ya B@gger!", and doing the Joey Tribiani victory dance when unearthing a particularly good spud, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the men in the white coats arrive and cart me off.
    Ra! Ra! Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen -there was a cat that really was gone.....
    Seriously, can't help it!

    You'd be our perfect neighbour.

      I wonder - if you told the men in white coats what your problem was, would they set up a protective cordon for you in hospital ?
      Sounds like your problem might be exhaustion - you are two bushed...

            Do you break into the theme from Rawhide whenever Beau rolls on the lawn?

                  Definitely a lady Davy. What man do you know who would sing a Boney M song? Wish you were my neighbour, we could duet.

                    I love threads like this - makes me feel normal!

                    But then, I do talk to Chickens. And weeds..

                      I usually sing when I go to water the tomatoes and chilli plants. I keep it very quiet though, so the neighbours won't hear.

                      How's Rasputin doing? D'you think the music (in my case, a loose description) is bringing them along?

                        Must say I do tend to talk to my plants when I'm checking and watering them..congratulate the ones that are dowing well and words of encouragement for those that are finding it a little harder gowing ..think gardening tends to bring out the little bit of crazy in all of us ..

                            I have a mate who constantly has Boney M on his car stereo, we thought him slightly derranged at first, but now we think its a ruse so no one asks him for a lift

                              Thank god I'm not alone!
                              Just checked and , yes, am still all woman ,Davy! Other songs that just pop out unbidden are, "The Theme from Black Beauty" - when checking my aubergines. "That's Amore" - I come over all Italian when watering my Basil and "I Who Have Nothing" upon opening up pea-pods that look like they should be full but aren't!
                              Rasputin is doing just fine, Frannie. First fruit just starting to change colour!
