officially a gardening geek!!!

[ckfe]

after weeks of banging on about my new hobby of veg growing to my work colleagues one of them has finally called me a geek.. i'm sooooooo proud lol

[Iamhanuman]

hahahaha
well as you must know they will be laughing on the other side of their face when their colleagues receive copious amounts of delicious free veg courtesy of your abundance!!

[ckfe]

yes my thoughts exactly, they'll be laughing on the other side of their swedes!!

[Iamhanuman]

just do please make sure you exclude that name-caller from the bounty

[ckfe]

she's actually my boss!!.. good job she doesn't know some of the names the staff call her, they're much worse than geek lol

[miffy]

Someone at work said they were going to start calling me Barbara, when i asked why they said you know that woman in that sitcom The Good Life, hasten to add i don't look anywhere as good as Felicity Kendall did in her wellies and dungarees!!

Now you're talking!!!!!!!!

just so long as they don't start calling you margo you've got nothing to worry about!

And the problem with being a gardening geek is ??????????????????

This is gardeniong geek land, that's for sure

[miffy]

The lady next door is defintely Margo, she trips up the garden in her kitten heels and i tell you no lie she 'gardens' in her pink marigolds and jumps everytime she sees anything that is alive in her garden! She even has a wire trellis pagado thingie like Margo did in the sitcom. She holds 'sworays' and her hubbie is every way as henpecked as Jerry.
We overheard her telling one of her friends that living next to us was like living next to a shanty town because we don't mow the lawn every weekend!!! The only way she would know that is if she had been on a ladder and looked over the fence and i would not put that past her either.
Nature is so cruel, i didn't get Barbara's good looks but i inherited her next door neighbour, i bet the gods are having a right old laugh!! And yes my hubbie is totally lovable and clueless in equal measure just like Tom!LOL

[ckfe]

didn't realise i lived next door to you miffy

no seriously, i'm more your gardening in pyjamas kinda girl, not sure what i'll do when i finally get a lottie, might look a bit odd me wandering around in my pj's

[miffy]

You too, i put one of hubbies hoodies over my nightie the other day, slipped on my silver ballet pumps and plodded down to my greenhouse with a cup of tea.
Lost track of time and looked up to see my neighbour on the other side shaking his head, 'is that what gardeners wear these days?' , as he walked back up his garden laughing. whoops!!

I realised when I got to the allotments that I was still wearing my slippers.... in such a hurry to get there forgot to change into my shoes, they are like mocassins so not too obvious.

If it's any help at all Miffy, I just named my Geese Tom & Barbara and Jerry & Margot!

I'm a huge fan of TGL and so is my DH. Those who don't understand us are missing out!

[Comfreyfan]

I'm another one who wanders down to the greenhouse in my dressing gown with a cup of tea first thing in the morning! SIL bought me a beautiful basket/trug thingy for harvesting the veg (and carrying it a whole 30 metres to the house!), it's a lovely thing. . .but very Margot!!!!
