Sod. As in turf, off, this for a game of soldiers, that, it, all, him / her.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling -

Ooo I love using furtle. I like Haulms also, makes it sound like I know what I'm taking about.
Dibbing is a nice word.
Wine? Is also a sentence I like hearing in the garden."Orinoco was a fat lazy Womble"
Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.Comment

Furtle is definitely a 'nice sounding' word, but over the last week "yes I'd like one of those pumpkin plants' would have been a favourite!
I finally found homes for all 20, just got a few orphaned chillies and a couple of toms which will have to take their chance until we get back (no more time to find them homes).Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

Love the sound of 'mulch', it's quite onomatopoeiac and satisfying to say. As in 'I'm off to do some mulching!'Gardening forever- housework wheneverComment
but i might use it now
