Sherbet has an invasion of hairy caterpillars

I slept all morning yesterday, that is why you did not hear from me. I am still feeling worn out since my amazing Jubilee party. However, I am back at work in my garden as there is always so much to do. I must tell you that I have had an invasion of funny little hairy caterpillars and they are really being so naughty, enjoying themselves enormously, eating up all the leaves on my salad plants.
 Oh dear, I just do not know what to do, they are getting everywhere, even walking round and round the edges of my terracotta pots, going round and round and round and round until they are so dizzy that they fall off, well at least they don't eat the lovely basil and parsley that I am growing in those pots. I will just wait until tomorrow and if they are still there, I will have to invent a way to make them all leave my garden. Does anyone know something that caterpillars love to eat apart from the things in my garden, maybe I could put a saucer on the grass of something that they find more delicious than my lettuce. I wonder if they would like Pearl's blackberry preserve, I could try and put some down in a trail leading to my garden gate, maybe they will follow it and go away out to Wiggleway Lane.
I will wait until tomorrow then I will decide what to do. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet sends rainbow coloured blessings to all of his friends

Good morning everyone,
I am having a nice rest in my garden today.
I woke up feeling very content.  I am sure I must have slept well and had sweet dreams, although this morning I did not remember my dream.  That reminds me, I must keep a notebook by my bed to write my dreams in, as Pearl says that dreams can give me messages and help me solve my problems.  It was very windy in the night and I was a little bit worried because I have some little pots with delicate new baby parsley plants in them. I was afraid they would blow over in the wind and break their fragile little stalks.
I went to check on them the minute I woke up and I am happy to say that even though some of them had fallen over they were all still alive and well.  I am going to say bye bye to you all now as I am settling down to my peaceful morning in my garden, with the sounds of the birds tweeting in my ears. I am feeling very blessed and right at this minute I am sending lots of rainbow coloured blessings to all of my dear friends from nearby and far far away. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet's herb garden

A cheery hello to everyone out there. It is a lovely morning here in my amazing garden.  Doodle, Mango and Pearl all stayed at my cottage last night after eating our lovely, healthy vegetable dinner. We are all feeling very tired after all of our hard work yesterday so we are having a quiet, restful day. Today, Mango and I picked some herbs from my herb garden.  We all like to put  fresh herbs in our cooking and our salads and we also make lovely refreshing hot tea with them too. We picked a nice basketful of herbs so there is enough to share. I will divide them up into separate paper bags for Mango, Pearl and Doodle to take home with them. The herbs are growing very well in my garden, they are really growing too well as in some places they are taking over! The Mint is the naughtiest as it has escaped its' herb garden borders and has started to spread itself all around the cabbage. The Rosemary has grown into a huge fragrant bush and everytime I pass it, I breathe in it's unique perfume and it fills me with joy. We picked a lovely selection of herbs to use in our recipes,  Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Mint, Sage and Parsley. Can you recognise any of them in my picture?
