A Riddle

What do you get when you have taken all the weeds and moss out of a chamomile lawn?

That's what Blob has been doing today. Hours of concentration, back ache, muddy knees, torn fingernails, and a couple of nasty cuts and Blob has removed nearly all the moss and all the weeds from her precious chamomile lawn.

In her favour, it has been a hard winter which probably hasn't done any gardens any good, but it was with a somewhat woeful expression that she finally finished, loaded the car with weeds and prunings for the dump and then stood back to admire her work.

So the answer to 'What do you get when you have taken all the weeds and moss out of a chamomile lawn?'

'MUD!'

Bob.

  1. And an enormous sense of satisfaction, I'll bet. Camomile will be back, just you wait and see. If our manky old back garden grass can survive the trammellings of three hyperactive hens, with their six scratchy feet and three greedy beaks then your camomile will survive.
