Strange Habits on Allotment Sites

[Sheneval]

Strange thing yesterday - a woman on the site whom I don't know was showing her parents round the site and they stopped for a chat - I got on really well with the father and asked him where in Ireland he came from? Galway he replied - that is where my great grandfather came from, he was a Murray - my name is Murray he said - now is that a coincidence or what.

[veggiechicken]

Did he look like your great grandfather?

[Sheneval]

VC - I don't know, my ggfather died in 188x when I was just a boy, but this Murray was a fine looking man for his age so I'll say yes More importantly he was a decent spud so again I'll claim a likeness to my ggfather as he got a great obit in the local rag when he died so was obviously well liked.

*Wonders*? Have the mushrooms grown much since he started watering them?:rolleyes

Seems like a decent crop anyway so he must be doing summat right!

I would have thought it a bit early in the year for shrooms that size shows how much I know

Not plot-holders, but a retired couple from nearby walk down our path and lean on the fences chatting about what they would do to make the plot better if they had it amd commenting on work you've done, even if you're right there in front of them! I once lost my temper and commented to my dog, very loudly "Look Pads, there's those rude people who disparage our allotment as though we can't hear them!" and they didn't bat an eyelid! I go in the shed when I see them coming now

Might be of interest to someone?

But you have to wait until the blackbird has finished rearing her brood

^^^ Looks like the sort of No Nails shed I might cobble together

I don't have an allottment........but I have often watered the earth stakes for the electric fence........when I've turned it off! You have too, really! If the earth is too dry they won't earth the fence properly- I read it in the manual, but I do feel like a dork doing it.

[Feral007]

They've never germinated and reproduced tho, more's the pity. D@mned expensive things.

Wondering if he started watering them on April 1st & has now developed a silly habit

Those mushrooms look a bit woody, yes i went there.

This bar maid sounds nasty, :-D

Lmao from Feral007's signature of using your bottom to test the temperature of the ground, i nearly spit my coffee on the screen laughing, brilliant!!

The Barmaid is a wonderful character kept in check by AP, Potty and Trip whilst I stand in awe at how much fun can be had from an imaginary situation.

There are many great quotes on this site - personally I like BB's:

He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

If it ever came to a vote, it would be very difficult to decide

[Jonthefish]

I have been told a number of times that i must not use my imagination. I mean whats the worse that can happen?

Great quotes there Bb.

If you decide to frequent the GR the worst that can happen is you will enjoy yourself
