I am GUTTED. Mr Noosner, thinking he was being helpful, cleared and took to the tip all my apparently dead bean plants. But they were my DRIED beans (Gigantes) drying on the vine. I just CANNOT believe it. I had been carefully tending them since April. Why didn't he ASK me first? The thing is, even though he knows I'm really upset, I can't even be properly cross with him because he was all chuffed with himself for helping out. I just had to take the dog out for a walk in the dark and cry my eyes out walking round the park!
(Our garden is tiny, and my three compost bags/bins are already full, which is why he thought the tip was a good idea.)
My OH did the same last year and a few years ago my friends stepson peeled his chitting spuds and one year my Step Dad used the wooden slats from my Green house staging as kindling
1. Drove past dog-walking parking spot, had to then drive a mile to turn round and go back, by which time my mate had started to leave ...
2. Forgot to go to Butcher, so had to raid the freezer for some obscure unlabelled item for dinner ...
3. Forgot to leave eggs for friend who buys loads each week ...
4. I'm sure there was a fourth, but I can't ruddy remember it!

...bet that makes you feel better
Ohh yeah, that does make me feel better, Scarlet. Especially the greenhouse staging as kindling, what a classic!! Top marks for that.
So far I have gained (from Mr Noosner's mistake) a bunch of flowers, some hoovering, ringing up the man to fix our gas fire, a portion of chips, 2 cups of tea and the promise of tea cooked tomorrow night... d'you think I'd better stop milking it now?

When are the cabbage white caterpillars going to stop? Just been out to the garden to find hordes of them munching their way through the winter radish leaves!!!

I'd just like to say a big thank you to the 2 neighbouring plot-holders who have both blitzed the accesing path to my plot so much with weedkiller this year that there is virtually nothing growing on it now.
Needless to say, after the monsoon like rain we've had recently - the path is now 30 metres of total mud which is like an ice-rink to walk upon.
Yes, I did skid/slide and come a cropper on my way out today - absolute embarrassment making my home, caked in mud.
However, good excuse to jump into a bath, have myself a nice drink and catch up on here.

Well I never, just as the puppy (nearly 4 months) learns how to go outside for toilet functions than her big sister (a year and a half) has decided she can 'go' indoors again! Regression.
I know horsey folk have a reputation of being Nutters, but this one is about as mental as they get. Her daughter is as bad. I want to punch both of them.
This flemmin website can be so unco-operative. Why is it when you want to point to the immediately preceding post like so ^^^^^^^^^^^, the flemmin thing goes to a new page and you end up pointing at nuttin (when you intended to point to a nutter)

Its even worse when the ^^^^Nutter is aimed at your own name
Accidentally leaving a pair of 3/4 work trousers in the cupboard of the room I had last week.
Asked if they'd been handed in - no.
Asked for the key to that room so I could get them out of the cupboard....they're not there!
Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!
One bit of old folklore wisdom says to plant tomatoes when the soil is warm enough to sit on with bare buttocks. In surburban areas, use the back of your wrist. Jackie French
