Gardening wish list

[piskieinboots]

an allotment (not sure if I could cope with one)
a greenhouse (garden too small)
a shed (see item above)
a push mower (lawn resembles quad driving range, so no go)

Its that 'look' in your avatars eye!

While you're not making a bird table, do remember to consider not making a bird box?

Nowhere to sight it I'm afraid, but I plan also to not make a ladybird/lacewing house.

Ha ha! How about a martin box in the eaves? We got our friendly plumber to put ours up - I get dizzy at height! (Not really)



ps don't stand beneath it!

After we spent £1500 getting the soffits and facias replaced last year!?!

I was talking about on the plot - there are plenty of trees and shrubs next to our house - they're alive with birds!

I did get one sack of multipurpose compost from Santa. I gather the Birthday Fairy is plotting some more for me. More gifts were quilting related - quilting threads, retractable tape measures etc. Wish list ALWAYS includes threads! I've been gardening for so long that most people assume I've got all the gardening gear I want (pretty much true) but I'm reaching the age where one of those kneelers that doubles as a stool (that you can push yourself up to a standing position with) seems rather attractive!

Cripes, at that price I think I'd rather get my knees mucky and and use the fork handle to help me get up!

1. Some rotted manure
2. Someone to dig over the new patch in the field, preferably George Clooney but I'll settle for anyone really.
3. Sunshine
4. A calm day - ie no wind

Hmm .......... might get no. 2 but the rest is a bit fancifal me thinks.

Someone,anyone,George Clooney or a cross-eyed,fat,bad-tempered gnome to dig over a patch in my field.I will have to make lazy-beds(which are hard work !!)instead.
The well rotted manure,delivered,as my field is half a mile up a narrow track and everything has to be barrowed up.(seemed like heaven at the time,but.....)

A garden knife as mine seems to have gone walkabout. Suspect it will turn up the second I buy a new one and take it out the packaging...

A pair of secateurs as mine are blunt. They were 99p ones which I said 'I'll buy cheap so that it wont matter if I lose them'. Can't seem to lose them.

[Birdie Wife]

1. A duck pond with some nice Welsh Harlequin and Silver Appleyard ducks on it
2. Trailer full of manure (soon to be sorted out, for free!! Yes!!!)
3. Lovely Felco No.6 secateurs. Yes, they're expensive and I have two pairs of cheap ones already, but I can't help wishing...
4. Big polytunnel so I can grow pole/runner beans, aubergines, tomatoes, winter salad.
5. A years subscription to GYO!

[Farmer_Gyles]

santa didnt get me any gardening stuff
if i'd thought to train my mother and my kids properly, i'd have asked for compost, bamboo canes, mini water butt for inside greenhouse, couple of water butt timers, new gardening gloves, probably a few other bits .........
