Muddy Summer

[binley100]

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the snugs find it delightful,
the beans are on a go slow
Flippin' grow, flippin' grow , flippin' grow!


It doesn't show signs of stopping,
my corns never gonna be popping,
The grass is too wet to mow,
flippin' grow, flippin' grow, flippin' grow!

Well my wellies aren't watertight
and I hate going out in the storm!
But I need to put up a fight
against blight, cut off the haulms.

The onions are slowly rotting,
But I'm still gonna grow my owning,
plenty more seeds to sow,
Flippin' grow, flippin' grow ,flippin grow!

Binley, never mind selling jam, you're missing a trick with your song lyrics! Get 'em sent to The Wurzels and see if they can make a comeback.

(Or maybe the Weathergirls? or Wet Wet Wet?)

Thanks Helga.......'tis boredom

Snugs are all around me
They're everywhere I go........

[binley100]

You stab'em and you salt'em
then see how far they go........

Please Sun come out
And sky turn blue
And dry the soil
That feels like glue,
But its raining, raining here since March.
Oh misery, miser-eee,
What sort of a crop will there be.....
I tell myself slugholes won't show
And very soon, the beans will grow,
But its raining, raining here since March........

Muddy summer happened so fast
Grew some crops but they didn't last
Grew a cuc sweet as can be
Guess what won't have it for tea.

Muddy days floating away
But, oh!
Those bladdy snugs.

"Fork on" - dedicated to tomato growers everywhere.

When you fork in a storm
Hold your truss up high
And don't be afraid of the slugs.
At the end of the storm
There's a pitch black sky
And the plots are awash with the floods.

Fork on through the wind
Fork on through the rain
Though your flowers be tossed and blown
Fork on, Fork on with hoe in your hand
And you'll see what you have grown.
Fork on, Fork on with hope in your heart
With the Vine you're not alone

I can't get no Veggie's to grow,
No matter how many seed's I sow,
How I tried and I tried,
And I tried and I tried,
I can't get no veggie's to grow,
No,no.no,
No,no.no,
I can't get no veggie's to grow.

I have to say that this rain is really getting me down and I feel guilty for saying it coz at least I have not been flooded. To those that have I feel desperate for you.
My allotment is a disaster !!! Roll on next year.
One high spot !! It gives me the chance to sit here with a large glass of Frascati and join in this forum !!! Cheers to you all !!!

Cheers m'dear

Summertime,
And growin's not easy
Veg are boltin'
And the nettles are high

Oh, the snugs are fat
from all that good eatin'
I'll sow more bras
I hear Flo cry

One of these mornings
You're going to wake up blinkin'
cos that pi$$in' jetstream
has gone over above Skye

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can help you
just keep wellies and raincoats close on standby
