In the Garden - Concietta

I forget about everything else, the fresh air, the garden, look,

like the plants they are my friends.

And if I feel sick, I like to stay inside and do crochet, knitting and everything, but

I cannot stay inside for long,

something be on my shoulder and call me in the garden.

And if I find

a little plant in a small pot,

I say, 'Gee you no good, you have to be in a big pot!' And most of the time I forget to come inside, because they keep me there.

See this plant? I picked her up from Apollo Bay, just a little piece like this, and

it's grown mad!

I talk to my plants, I say, 'Hey you don't do very well, you have to do something to make me pleased, and

tell me what you need to help.

You need a bit of fertiliser, or big compost?' You know, things like that.

I got the kitchen stuff, and I work in the garden, all the things I have pass the time, I come in and dig her up like the ground, or mix her up, and I fill up the pots. That's it, that's my job, and my time,

keeping me happy.
