Carrots

.

Every last one gone

scythed down by my enemy

no carrots this year

Almost there

.

In a few days time

nature’s generous gift shop

opens for business

Pot bound

.

Those extra seedlings

in waiting and unplanted

forlorn also rans

Produce

.

An old friend once said

you get out what you put in

which kind of makes sense

Parched

.

Should I water it

even though storms are forecast

gardeners choices.

Moth ball

.

Tired out from dancing

resting up in the spinach

waiting for nightfall

Wood pigeon

.

Incessant cooing

accompanies my deep thoughts

productive duet

Hidden

.

Beneath plastic sheet

slow worm hatchling lies hidden

jewel of the plot

.

by Scooj

Soft winds

.

Soft winds gently stroke

heavily laden grass heads

leaning to the east

.

by Scooj

Never happy

.

At last the rain comes

a watering holiday

but the slugs and snails
