Several of our followers have been wondering and concerned about Nigel and the state of his adopted “vegetable patch” outside the Europa Supermarket along the school run.
So, I don’t think it will come as any great shock to you, when I say that “his” tiny tomatoes ………….. didn’t make it!
The plant itself is properly dead, all brown and shrivelled, with not a jot of life left in it ……..
…… and, as such, the brave and courageous fledgling tomatoes have also gone to the great compost heap in the sky.
Fortunately, the little fella has been very philosophical about it all. December, he says, is a month of hope and the portal to a new year. The patch will continue it’s circle of life, where “Hope springs forth all paternal eternal.”. He’ll just have to be a lot more diligent in keeping his eyes on all it’s wonders and rescue anything he thinks might be in danger! What on earth is he like?
Never mind, Nigel. You are always diligent, in my book.
