Peas

What fun it was yesterday: He planted out some peas.
1st Myself helped Him dig. Chickens got in the way a bit but then they know no better.
2nd Helped with the laying of the black stuff. Caught in My claws so I crawled beneath and found lots of places I could pop out from. Slightly regrettable when His foot managed to tread on My tail and I jumped. He held it down with a couple of bricks after that.
3rd He put up some long sticks in groups of 4 and tied the tops together with wire. Poked the other ends through the black stuff. Had to do that more than once as they fell over when Myself rubbed on them.
4th Peas were planted. Have been growing in Her conservatory for a couple of weeks so needed tying to the sticks with green string. Took Him much longer than He thought it would because the ball of string bounced nicely over the ground when I patted it.
5th Lots of white stuff was wound round the sticks like a fence. Was a bit windy by now which didn't make it easy though Myself did My best to hang on to the loose ends. Think He got quite cross with the wind after a while. Used some of Her clothes pegs to keep the fleece in place but the sticks were a little too thick and they kept jumping off when I checked them.
6th He discovered that His lunch had gone cold and She had gone out leaving it on the kitchen table. (Tasted not very nice. Myself prefers it when warm.)

Feel much better now about having been unceremoniously dumped in His wheelbarrow and then almost run over by it a couple of days ago.
