Oh dear , Sherbet cannot stop Doodle from Doodling.

Oh dear I just cannot stop Doodle from his new hobby of fashion designing . He is experimenting on me !
 I know he only means well and he thinks I should get a cooler,  more trendy image but I am not sure these shorts go well with my wellies and gardening gloves at all!
 Love from Sherbet x
PS  Be assured that I am still the same old Sherbet underneath all that sunglasses and cool expression new look .

Sherbet's miracle pink rose

I heard a huge torrent of rain falling down in the night and I woke up worried about my one pink rose.  I rushed outside even before I had eaten my breakfast and to my relief,  my dear, pink rose was still there standing upright with all of it's petals.  It must be a true miracle rose as when I looked at some of my new little salad seedlings they were flattened down. I do hope they pop right up again. I can see the sun coming out now so they should be OK. The only bad news of the day was that I saw 2 slugs eating my tomato plant, the rain must have brought them out of their hiding places.  I do love all the little creatures in my garden and I want them to be happy but I just had to lift off those 2 slugs ( wearing my gardening gloves of course, and I don't mean the slugs were wearing my gloves I was ! ) They were oh so slimy and slippery and gooey but I managed to pull them off of the tomato leaves and I put them in the field next door so they could find a new home.  Now my vegetables are  safe again. Thank goodness! Love from Sherbetx

A Sunny Sunflower day

The days have been so sunny lately that it makes me think of sunflowers. I was also thinking this morning, as I was tidying up my garden, that one of the things I really like doing is untangling all of those tangled up bits of long, creeping, winding stalks that all seem to take each other over. I particularly like the twisty ones, that twist like long curls around each other.  I love untwisting them and freeing them all so that they can have lovely independant lives and are free to creep in any direction they want to go. Sometimes it is really hard work as some of them are really tough so I am so glad I have a good assortment of gardening gloves to protect my delicate skin from scratches.
I wish you all a lovely sunny day wherever you are. Love from Sherbetx

Sam the slippery slimy slug escapes

The slugs have settled nicely into their new box apart from one who I  have named Sam ( Doodle says I should call him slippery Sam!). He keeps escaping. I have just found him hiding among the autumn leaves in my wheelbarrow. He was not easy to find.






Mango Mouse offered to help me by climbing in and out of the lovely crunchy leaves until he found the naughty little slug. Mango was afraid to touch  Sam's slimy skin so I put my special gardening gloves on and plucked him out of the leaves. He was sent back home to his box just in time for his dinner. (Oh no not lettuce again!!).
