Sherbet has some very naughty caterpillars eating his lettuce

Oh dear friends , you have found me digging my garden.
 This is the month when I plant lots of new seeds and lots of little baby vegetable plants .
I must tell you that when I came into my garden early this morning to water my plants, I found some very naughty caterpillars on my lettuce , well really the truth is that they were on the remaining stalks of my lettuce! I do not mind sharing my lunch with caterpillars at all because as you know I do love all the little creatures in my garden but when they chew through every single leaf, I realise that I will have to give them some lessons in good manners and teach them to share .
It seems there are always lessons to teach and lessons to learn  so I am going to start teaching those naughty caterpillars right this minute .
Love Sherbetx

Sherbet sees a beautiful rainbow

It has been raining a lot today here at Clover Cottage.  It rained so hard at one point that I saw little rivers running through my garden. I know it made the frogs happy but my poor butterflies were hiding under the blackberry bush trying to keep dry. It has also been very windy. I was a bit afraid that my blackbirds would be blown out of their nest but when I looked up into the oak tree  there they all were safe and sound and all cuddled up together.  When the rain stopped, the sun came out and you can easily guess what I saw then. Up in the sky far far above my head  was the most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen . It seemed to spread it's rainbow coloured colours all over my garden and I watched as all the little creatures slowly peeped out from where they were sheltering and one by one they came out from their hidey holes to enjoy the rainbow with me. How lovely to share such a magnificent sight with all of my little creature friends.
After a few minutes the rainbow faded away and the earth had begun to dry a little. I decided it would be nice to try and plant some new vegetable seeds so I gathered up my basket of seeds and garden tools and sat patiently on my flowerpot waiting for the earth to become a little less sticky. I just always have to be careful because if it is too muddy I may get mud on my white woolly coat and that is just what I do not want to do as my shampoo never seems bubbly enough to get all of the mud out. I will talk to you all again soon, I am just going to have a little nap here on my flowerpot and wait for the sun to dry the earth a little more.  I am feeling really tired, my eyes are closing, it must be that my long trip home from Kathy Cat's house has worn me out!
 Love from Sherbetx 

Sherbet is so tired after working in his garden

Oh I am so tired. I spent all morning weeding and planting new seeds in my garden. But how lovely to spend time sitting on my grass with my friends this afternoon. Pearl made daisy chains, Doodle spent his time drawing the frogs on the pond and Mango went to sleep under the oak tree. I just sat happily watching the birds in the sky and feeling the sun on my face, it reminded me of being on holiday again with my old friend Sheila Sheep. I miss her and wish she could be here now to enjoy this time with us. I am very grateful to have such good friends in my life .

Sherbet buys new salad seeds for his garden

It is nearly the weekend again. Today I will buy some new salad seeds from the garden shop and tomorrow I will plant some. I have lots of weeding to do too and then in the afternoon I will ask my dear friends to come to my garden to sit on the grass with me. How lovely to spend some quiet relaxing time with my best friends.
