Tomato plants, etc
Tomato plants, etc
My friend’s mother bought them yesterday to our surprise. The unique smell of the plants instantly dragged me to the time when I was a kid. My family used to grow crops in the countryside, so in summer mornings what I preferred to do before school time was always going to pick tomatoes in the fields. Carrying a small
basket in my arm, singing along the road was one of the sweetest memories I could recollect about my childhood.
Then after so many years in between, here they are. I didn’t know how I longed
for those days until I saw and smelt those lovely green plants. In the conservatory, they stood there demurely, waiting to be cared and loved. Garden would have
been a better place for them if not because of those four ravenous chickens. But given the plant species we got, the pots will fortunately suffice.
Talking about those chickens, one of them really got on my nerves earlier on. Because the chicken house was attacked by red mice again, my friend had to clean up the hut. My task was to distract those chickens' attention while my friend did
it. I tried to feed them on the patio. But because the food was not corns or any special offer, one of them really got displeased with me. Instead of pecking the food in my palm, she kept pecking my thumb and fingers. I didn’t pay attention to it when she did the first time. But after a while I spotted her ill-favored trick. But what can you do about it? You see, now those chickens do think they have the right to reject and revolt when they are displeased.
Anyway, I should say I enjoy their company in my daily life. I only hope everything else will get better as time follows on.
