If you could ask for one gardening item for Christmas, what would it be?

[Jay22]

A greenhouse for me please...nothing exciting just an everyday greenhouse, thank you in advance Santa!

[craftymarie]

I'd really love an arbour - somewhere beautiful to sit and read in the garden and also to grow climbing roses up. You can get them now with swinging seats which is even more appealing.

Hi Santa, can you pop one of those 'Grow-light gardens' in my stocking please? - that way I can sow my chillies on Boxing Day!

[Philthy]

A shredder would be great. Save carting the hedge clippings to the tip every year. I could double my compost output, make mulch... (not sure it'll fit in the chimney though, behind the door is fine)

I would like to have a new propogater as the one i have at the moment doesn't doesn't have a thermostat.
I would like a new automatic window opener as one of mine has stopped working.
And, if Santa is being really generous maybe I could have a poly tunnel.
I can only live in hape.

A new pair of gloves, please. They need to be strong enough to resist the mightiest thorns, yet supple enough to pull the most stubborn weeds. Waterproof and warm in winter, yet cool, comfortable and breathable for the summer. And where the thumb and index finger do not wear out after only six months.

Failing that space and time to watch a cedar of Lebanon reach maturity.

I have had an expensive garden year and my birthday shed has just been put up

However, I have a few things left that Father Christmas could quite happily leave me. A 'pink suffolk' grapevine, a nectarine tree and some greenhouse whitening. Oh and some morrisons flower buckets (I don't have a Morrisons near me )

Edit: and much to VCs disgust - a kiwi or kiwiberry plant

[bearded bloke]

some greenhouse whitening.

Win dow lene Cream works as well & is kinder to your lungs when it's time to wipe off or as I do drape debris netting over the roof & sides, works a treat & can be used over again for several years

Are you wanting to live in Hope or Ape Bramble?.................

[Bigmallly]

You could wish for a Morrisons NG............

Not strictly gardening but I would like a weber BBQ, I love gardening and then having a nice bbq at the end of the day.

[scarey55]

Not strictly gardening either but I would love an apple press/juicer. I have had so many apples this year that I don't know what to do with them

[Jay22]

Can I add some Morries buckets too? I have one near me but they won't sell me them?

[mothhawk]

I'd like a hotbin to speed up the recycling of my garden waste. As my garden is small I resent having to spare room for a second compost bin when the first is full but not ready to use. All summer the second bin sits over the first, but come autumn I have to set it up on another patch of ground to hold the autumn clearance overflow.

Try Waitrose. Very nice man in a North London one gave me 30, and told me to come back when I wanted more.

I'd like a fruit cage please, 3m x 7m would be perfect, though to be honest anything would be great, even some metal poles and some netting so I could make it myself. My family get my aspirational seed list, so Christmas and birthdays are taken care of.

And an ad-free forum. If as members we're trying to help answer questions or drive magazine content it seems like a fair return. I'm sceptical about how many ads are clicked on in anything other than error.
