Gardening?!

What on earths happening to me....I've started to garden!

I create plans for the garden, buy plants, nurture(?)them, and get upset if something happens to them. If I see anyone touch them I will cut you! Here's my tips for starting to garden if you're as sad as me...or as cool XD

1. Get rid of weeds...well try atleast. Stupid weeds, I didn't ask you to be in the garden but noooooo you decided to get your roots deep and spread your fluffy poncy seeds around, and/or prickle me to death. Evil plants.
2. By some nice seeds/bulbs.
As it says on the back of the pack of bulbs...don not eat the ornamental bulbs. Are these bulbs you put on your mantle piece, pride of place with it's oniony resemblance? Or are they the same bulbs you put in the ground? Or light bulbs? Don't eat light bulbs, they are made of glass and it's kind of obvious not to eat them.
3. If you have bulbs, whack 'em in the ground. Seeds put them in a pot in the house to give them a chance to germinate (oohhh get me remembering science I did in year 5)
Don't forget to water them, else they shrivel. Shoots of lupins are ridiculously cute and I'm not sure why. I will protect them with my life...hear that Mr. Fox in the backgarden if you crush them feel the wrath!
4. Wait
5. Wait some more.
6. Plant the shoots in the garden.
7. Water
8. wait
9. Water
10. You get the picture
11. PRETTY FLOWERS :D
12. ...erm not sure I haven't got that far yet.

Well enjoy summer! Sorry if you have hayfever.

Eyjafjallajokull

Ok, I know I'm a tad bit late writing about it, but I saw it written down and I take it as a challenge to say it. In the an article it tries how to explain how to say it.

Ay-ya fyatla yo cook.

How in anyway does that resemble Eyjafjallajokull.
Apparently in Icelandic sometimes double L's can either be said as a K or a T...hmmm makes 'sense'. Too much effort to say it so it's sticking as the crazy Icelandic volcano that annoyed the aeroplanes.
