Plant Vs Plant (a bit of fun)
OK.
The site I look after has a field next to it and every year it's full of nettles. The nettles make their way through the fence and I have to get rid of them. Today I planted some English Mint on my side of the fence. Who will win the nettles or the mint? All have a go and I'll report what happens. |

Plant Vs Plant (a bit of fun)

Today I planted some English Mint on my side of the fence. Who will win the nettles or the mint? All have a go and I'll report what happens. Said the right-handed Honeysuckle to the left handed Bindweed 'oh let us get married if our parents don't mind we'd be loving and inseparable, inextricably entwined we'd live happily ever after' said the Honeysuckle to the Bindweed. To the Honeysuckle's parents it came as a shock, the Bindweeds, they cried, 'are inferior stock, They're uncultivated, of breeding bereft We twine to the right and they twine to the left'. Said the anticlockwise Bindweed to the clockwise Honeysuckle; 'We'd better start saving Many a mickle mac's a muckle Then run away on a honeymoon and hope that out luck'll take a turn for the better', said the Bindweed to the Honeysuckle. A bee who was passing exclaimed to them then; 'I've said it before and I'll say it again Consider your offshoots, if offshoots there be, They'll never receive any blessing from me'. Poor little sucker, how will it learn When it is climbing, which way to turn, Right, Left, what a disgrace Our it may go straight up and fall flat on its face. Said the right-hand thread Honeysuckle to the left-hand thread Bindweed 'It seems that against us all fate has combined Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling Columbine thou art lost and gone forever We shall never intertwine'. Together they found them, the very next day They had pulled up their roots and just shrivelled away Deprived of that freedom for which we must fight To veer to the left or to veer to the right. With thanks to Flanders & Swann :-)) Mike |
