Moving onto the second ‘push’!

So much for feeling loved, I am given a crate to sit on (and NO CUPPA?!)........am I not acting crippled enough? But hey we can’t have anything distracting from the actual work on the garden right!
So here they are....digging the garden (turning the soil over so ready for planting again) see I’m learning right! And we find KUMERA’S!!!!! Ok maybe a few too many exclamation points but what can compete with the “kumara dance”?
Now it is only fair that I explain. Liz got so excited that we found kumara’s that she literally danced! (Now I am seriously starting to worry about our decision to follow this woman)........but hey, she has produced kumara’s! Only a year later than planned and with obvious surprise BUT?!!
Now of course that lead to a wonderful array of jokes regarding dancing and various vegetables........I don’t think I need/should elaborate on this! As I’m sure you can all get the idea! All I will end on is that I even pretended to do a toe dance (OK the rest of me was in pain......and the crate was not working for me! He he)
So home and bed bound was I!
Which is also why I was told about the latest addition to the garden after the fact?
They also have started a ‘worm farm’. Now sorry for showing my TOTAL ignorance, but WHY?
Don’t get me wrong I have actually seen one before, at Playcentre where my son had wonderful joy watching them etc......but in an actual garden? I thought the idea was to have worms IN the ‘garden’? So why take them out into a ‘farm?’!!!
It’s not like we need to contain them......or do we? I just hope I’m not given the job of checking the ‘ladies’ are pregnant and if not? What then, send them to the ‘works’?! How about milking them? Twice a day? (OK I learned later that they actually lay eggs......SO????)
I just can’t picture it myself but hey? Who am I to point out the obvious!
Maybe I need another night of KGB’s and a lesson on WORM FARMING! (Watch this space)
