Last month I told
you about the rhubarb how it was just poking through the ground
- well look at it now !
Surely Pim wouldn't
notice a little nibble here and there now among all those huge
leaves..
Yech! - I just tried
it and one bites enough - its gross - stay away from rhubarb
leaves !
I
always like to keep my eyes open for tasty snacks - oh and of
course things that may interest you. The Blooming Fields is
in "spring mode" now, with the nursery tables laden
with all kinds of plants (and snacks).
Plants inside and outside are crowding the shelves, I keep my
eyes peeled for the careless person who may leave something
delectable down at my level (but not rhubarb leaves).

I wandered by the greenhouse, just in case Pim left the door
open, and I peeked inside - I couldn't believe it, the lettuce
was huge ! Mary-Ann is picking it daily for the tea house and
I can see why.

Nobody
was around the greenhouse and I thought you may want to hear
how those succulent little leaves tasted - I strolled into the
greenhouse and found the choicest leaf I could find - and then
whump - Pim had snuck up behind me and lifted me up - then I
was sent out of the greenhouse.
I'll
try to get in to give you a report on how the lettuce tastes!
until next time.
