Gardeners xmas list?

I've asked for a new border fork.:)

Me too Drc! I want a Panasonic like Lilies' I've just been researching it. Wont get it though, it's too expensive. A nice arch and some wellies too.

Hello Drc: Another Gardman Classic obeslisk would be nice with a few bags of John Innes compost and some plants off my Wishlist.

I ask for gardening presents every year Drc, got my camera last year and a Christopher lloyd book which i still havent read all the way through, i was keeping it for lazy Sunny days on the lounger hahaha..ill have to start hinting for this year :)

A new bird table and some binoculars are on my list

Ooohhh, well where shall I start....? I have a "standing order" with Father Christmas....and every year he brings me a bucket of chicken manure, a ball of string, some cane caps, a hundred or so seed labels, and a new kneeling mat! Somehow or other he manages to fit them all in my stocking...lol. This year, I have been greedy and asked for a new pair of gardening clogs as well...:)))

I don't want too much really. Another Christopher Lloyd book, a Green Man, a bird bath, an ordinary
man to build me some raised beds and of course lots of money so that I can buy all the plants on my wish list :~))

I am hoping for a book titled "Roses for Canadian Gardens' and also a copy of 'Botanica's Pocket Roses'. A new hoe would be nice too as my old one fell apart......I would also like a greenhouse but somehow I don't think this will fit on Santa's sleigh. LOL

id like a new greenhouse,filled with some new wellies packets of seeds,chocolates,seed potatoes,seed trays,garden fleece, 2x2 " wood for peas in beds new gardening gloves,wine,watering can~holes in mine~more chocolate,paving slabs,gas for our camping stove (for fried egg butties hmm)
more wine,guaranteed 100% slug killer organic of course,in return i will promise to leave santa a glass of something and gladly leave a carrot for rudolph, do i think i will get my present,?not a chance.but i can dream.

As Toto said I was of nobility, I there for want to be Lady Chatterly and the gardener to go with it.

My list has go much longer !!!!!

Morgana!!! Hahahaha. You Charleton..

May be so but I am not cheap. haha hehe

Some new knee pads please Santa, my old ones are a bit worn out now and I would like a new pair of secatuers too if you could stretch that far.

Poor you, sure you wouldnt rather have new knees? Good way of getting out of xmas shopping Bob?

Oooo....yes, a new pair of secatuers...what a good idea....are you listening Santa???

I jumped the gun a bit - my pressie arrived two days ago and I'm using it already (naughty, naughty) - Photoshop, so I can resize and post photos on GOY. Only problem is, I now need an instruction manual (in plain English) to explain it all !!!!! I'm just a Luddite really !!!! Oh, also, an understanding, garden friendly lady would be great. Know any ??????????

well I'm dropping huge hints for a weed wand, a Bokashi composter, new gardening gloves, lots of labels, trolley for my tub trug, should get at least one of those :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) my sons know me so well, girlie presents don't come into the equasion LOL

Id like a Summer House Plez :) Do u think itl fit down the Chimney Drc? lol :)

Never mind the kneeling mats and knee pads....I just want a new pair of KNEES, please, Santa!

O Bscott if we can order body parts il have some Muscles& a new back 2 plez ;)

A pair of left handed secateurs would be wonderful and new knees - kneeling is 'literally' a pain! New good quality gardening gloves that don't let holly prickles through would be rather nice too :-)

Oooh - yes, posh, tough leather gloves, please! And some garden tokens so I can go and choose lots of plants without feeling guilty!

How about an account at my favourite mail-order Nursery? (LOL - Santa couldn't and wouldn't dare do that!)

Oh Jaqcue perhaps summer houses dont fit down chimneys I had the concrete base put in for mine 10 years ago and am still hoping?
MG my husband is left handed must be a pain at times? Apparently my daughter may have a left handed child but not me his wife funny things genes.
Whats a Weed wand Grindle?
Who pays the bill if you have an account Spritz?

already ordered some trilliums, but i would like a bespoke statue but I havent seen anything i really like or found someone to do it. just having my secetuers and cutting knife sharpening would be good.

A strong knowledgeable handsome young gardener who is so rich he won't charge for his work, and who understands and asks for my instructions with a smile and carries them out to the 'T' ....and a new pair of lungs.
Not much really!

Hey Mad, If I get you Chris Beardshaw, you have to get me Rachel de Thane or Carol Kleine. Deal ?

ive hinted for my pond, but wont be till spring but im happy to wait, hope santa doesnt spill the water heheh

Apparently ( and I have it on good authority but PLEASE don't take my word for it ) there is a young man somewhere in Aberdeen, a 'Personal Trainer' in his professional day-to-day life, who hires himself out as a naked gardener at weekends...he's quite popular with ladies of a certain age, supposedly.

I'd STILL rather have a new pair of knees!

;-)

Oh no Bscott, not naked, Heaven forbid! OK Muddywalters, I'll get Rachel or Carol, but if you could get Monty, I won't let him do any work! See what you have started Drc726?

:)ol

whats his name and phone number Bscott plez lol

hehehehe

:o))) heheh

Bscott, I bet he's not got a lot to show for himself in the winter ! Brrrrrrrrrr !! Oh Drc you've opened a can of worms here I think. Ha ha ha

Tee hee! I'm sorry gals, I don't know his name! He was a colleague's personal trainer, but she discovered that he had 'alternative' strategies for making money when he showed up as a male stripper at a hen-night she was attending! THEN she discovered he also hired himself out as a naked gardener!!! In ABERDEEN....well, I ASK you!

S'true.....honest!

well if youve got the nerve,, was going to say front lol,, anyway if youve got the nerve to do it and makes good money, well done to him and good luck,, better watch the nettles though ;o))

And the shredder Sanbaz!

lol mad hehe ouch!

Ooooohhh he's gone on my christmas wish list too...I don't mind sharing with Mad and San! ;)

For Sandra Mad and Crazydi I heard you have all found your calling, the witch out of the wizard of oz is here to answer your call and to full full your fantacies

http://www.striker-entertainments.co.uk/services.html

lmao morgana heheh :o))

He he he see I don't talk about it do it, lol so I thought I would recommend this for you kinky girls lol hehe.

Still dont know what a weed wand is???

A wand to magic all the weeds away of course, sorry I am a witch not a fairy god mother so I cannot grant her this one wish.

A gas powered wand which you use to burn off weeds - I my opinion doubtful if it works!

Oh I see thanks MG I just scare mine!

You mean you jump out at them and shout 'BOO' Drc? Can you come and do it to our weeds too please :)

Mg I have a broom if it wasnt so windy??

LMAO! I'm moving to Aberdeen, Santa, please arrange!
I'd like a new spine, and for my garden to treble in size (house too!) .
Failing that, my shed door wont close, so I'd like someone to come & fix it!! Lol! Preferably the guy from Motinot's pics!!

Yes it does work Moongrower BUT it uses a heck of a lot of gas and takes a long time and the weeds eventually come back again, I sold mine.

guess you got the answer Drc, now I've read Bobs post, maybe I'll miss on that one, I thought they were an easy way of getting rid of the dandelions that keep popping up in the path, maybe it's just easier to keep digging them out :(

Grindel if its for the odd dandelion what about one of those creme buele burners?

Bobg we have one of those gas wands and I am still not convinced it works... Grindle I'd keep digging them out, the weed wand will burn off the top but not destroy the tap root.

I'll agree with the weed wand comments. It might work on small shallow rooted weeds but doesn't work on the bigger, more annoying ones. It'll burn off the top and give them a headache but they'll be back.

Hmmm....a naked gardener??? Be a bit dangerous if you ask me....especially if he starts up the strimmer. He'd need a really good suntan lotion and mosquito repellent around here in the summer.

He needs a full set of thermal underwear and a belt of hot water bottles strapped round his waist here in the summer, Gilli.

Kinda defeats the object, wouldn't you say, girls?

;-)

Lol Bscott !

Is that your winter coat you have on Bscott?

Yep, warm and woolly, denise!

thanks for the comments on the weed wand, it's interesting to hear what people think that have used it. I thought from writeups it was the organic gardeners answer to weeds :((( just goes to show you should ask gardeners if you want the truth :))

i have asked for some books on plants so i can find all the different plant names....

I'm going to ask for 'A Photographic Encyclopaedia of Seedheads' ! ! ! ! Hee hee hee :-)

Nice one, Muddy! I want a winter canopy that encloses the whole garden when I want to be out there!

Bornagain has just asked in questions 'what happened to bscott?'

Hmmm! The fibonacci code happened!
