Every year, when the sun starts to go to bed later, Mummy
spends several days digging in the brown stuff in a box at the end of our
garden. She then plants little green
things that she puts cages around. I
think she’s concerned they may escape. They’re
pretty high maintenance. She gives
them lots of love and spends a lot of time feeding them. They grow really tall and strong and in
return, their job is to grow round yellow and red human treats, but this and last
year’s didn’t appreciate her care and gave her nothing in return.
This weekend Mummy sent the tall plants packing and replaced
them with little bushy ones called herbs.
She says they’re low maintenance, don’t need to be replaced every year
and are very tasty in human kibble which makes our humans happy.
Now, here is where I am a little confused. Our friends, Frankie and Abby’s Daddy grows special
herbs in his garden with bad smelling flowers that he says make him really,
really happy when he sets fire to them. I
was concerned that we would have the same problem, but I had a good sniff of
Mummy’s herbs, and they smell great.
