Things you would never say as a gardener

[Aberdeenplotter]

" that was such a wonderful growing season"

[Zelenina]

Ooooh, look at those pretty white butterflies!

[Snoop Puss]

^So glad to see you back, Zelenina. Been wondering about you and hoping you were OK.

"Thanks for the offer but I've got enough (insert as appropriate)."

(Compost bins, water butts, netting, posts, fleece and other related materials, plants, seeds...)

[Cadalot]

of course I don't want to shred all the envelopes from the Christmas cards for the compost bin

[bikermike]

"what? those plastic tubs/pots/etc? no, I can't imagine there being any use for them in the garden, just chuck them..."

(If you ever need another reason to eat custard, supermarket ready-made stuff comes in clear plastic deep tubs that are brilliant to put over new cuttings in pots...)

[Chrissyteacup]

I’ve finished weeding!

[Lumpy]

is it normal for my blackberry to have flowers and my hyacinths to have leaves?
