Times are bad. In fact very bad, according to Mervyn King the Governor of the Bank of England. He tells us gloom and more gloom faces the British Economy amid the rising fear of the global credit crunch. Everyday prices have gone up; bread, milk, bananas etc not to mention the petrol.
So dear Comrades, the time has come to take action. The time has come oh yes, the time has come to fight back. The time as come for me to do my bit. The time has come for me to grow my own lettuce!
I grew them from seeds in April ( after the snow week) and I havent stopped worrying about them since. ( I'm sure thats not right)
Are they well watered?
Are they getting enough sunlight ?
Are they OK?
Will they live?
.....on and on the questions go.
Any odd fool would think lettuce look after themselves. I thought that till I discovered I have to go out on "snail and slug patrol" every evening. I have 10 pots of lettuce and discovered to my horror 7 snails had made their homes in my lettuce pots!! the spongers!
My next worry is having to endure lettuce sandwiches, lettuce pie, lettuce caserole, lettuce a l'orange for the next 2 months. Of course thats if my lettuce survive the present economic climate.
Yes indeed Lettuce all Pray for a Happy Ending!
