Pot Banned

[TonyF]

Try reverse psychology - if I don't have that many pots, I'll have to go and spend money buying more, works for me and then keep them in plain sight, after the first couple of days, they sort of blend into the background.

Mind you, mine are in a huge box, ex raised bed, less the over spill pile next to my work bench that is. And not counting the roottratiners which I keep somewhere else. And the terracottas which I have next to the shed.

We had the nearest we've had to a 'domestic' for many years at the weekend when Himself decided to 'tidy up the shed'. My heart sank 'cos I knew he'd complain. I did the old 'well I don't want to have to buy any next year' thing. They stayed!

Out of Hand

Collections in our house have gotten out of hand.

Firstly, hidden away in the side passage are my pots. I tend to be nerd-like with these and to cram as many in as possible I have them all neatly inside each other, like those stacking toys toddler's have.

Then there is my fabric stash, which threatens to overflow my workroom in a Vesuvius manner. And my magazines, they get everywhere, but paper is a great insulator, right?

And then there's OH collection of chocolate moulds. We have many hundreds of these. Stacks and stacks on shelves, by size and/or theme. I cannot use this collection as a barter as I bought most of them...I'm a sucker for anything unusual.

OH complains about these collections regularly because he is a neat-freak. My saving grace is that I may live in utter chaos but I can tell you where anything is in that chaos at any given time. He, on the other hand, tidies obsessively and then has no recollection of where he's put anything.

Where do they come from????? I can't remember the last time I bought one (Morrison's flower buckets don't count, obviously) yet I have hundreds. I lend people books and they go walkabout, sometimes for years, often for ever, but if I give anyone a plant they always return the pot, even if it's obviously ancient and cracked. Do gardeners have a complex about one day running out which causes us to obsessively stash them when possible yet ensure we hand borrowed ones back so as not to encourage other gardeners' neuroses?

And there is was reading the headline and thinking some poor old geezer down the allotments had been caught growing strange 'foliage' plants and making all his fellow allotmenteers very special cups of herbal tea and muffins with them all departing with sweet smiles on their faces!
