phenomenon or imagination ?

this is definately a gardeners 'lot', but we wouldn't want it any other way would we?

Sounds familiar Heron :))

Himself will happily tell me 'I've completely weeded that bed' we go outside to look and - yup weeds, I think they hide behind the plants myself lol

...or...
....enough jobs I've missed that would keep me busy for another MONTH....:o)

I know that feeling well Heron.

It's our critical and perfectionist minds and eyes Heron !
It must be because we all seem to be agreeing with you and admitting it ourselves !!!!
A non gardener would probably just see the good bits ;-)

On the plus side a it's amazing how a cuppa can help inspire good ideas that make you wonder why you've not thought of it before. I'm hopeless at plant names, not much better at knowing how to look after all individual plants either, I do enjoy creativity though, aided with a cuppa.

Over on my blog of 16th November...
"I'll Drink To That... going Bananas"....
members are saying what they do with their tea or coffee ... after they've enjoyed their cuppa... do you put the coffeegrounds and teabags on the gardens...?
...and your banana skins ! ?...
more comments welcome over there.... thanks :o)

I know what you mean Heron, when im sitting with a cuppa in the garden all these ideas pop up in my mind! and i wonder how i hadn't thought of it before, so i get up and do it immediatly and the cuppa go's cold and somehow compost or flies decide to settle on the top hahaha.. Weeds seem to grow overnight too because im sure they weren't there the day before..

Ahhh compost & flies floating in my tea...I remember it well YDD!!

I think we've all done that Heron...gardening's a bit like painting the Forth Bridge! Only enjoyable!! :o)

Heron and Ydd, you're so right !
Whenever i sit out in the front or back with a drink i always, always have new ideas popping into my head !
Fluff, your Forth Bridge analogy's good :-)))))

Gardening is like house work its never finished

i get told off for not sitting still with a drink as i am always popping up to pull a weed. but i see it as my exercise programme. its the only one i have !

Know the feeling, at this time of year though i look in my garden and think of what i can do next year.

Sbg, i chuckled at that because i too get told off for not sitting still for long !!!

but have you noticed when we do decide to sit and stare, they all ways want to be up and doing instead? mine always seems to anyway :o)

LOL. yes i know !!!

I second all these comments. Where do those weeds come from anyway? I think they wait until the weeding is done and overnight say "come on fellas. Its time to repopulate" and they all pop up.
I know about the cold tea and tea with "additives". Wasps, flys, pine needles, leaves, caterpillers (once), manure (yuck), compost....all have found their way at one time or another into my tea. And that's not to mention the biscuit crumbs from 'dunking'. LOL

Morgana - but gardens don't need dusting :-)

Heron, my theory is...it's the Fairies! As soon as our backs are turned, they are out there in our gardens causing mischief and mayhem....;) It's a ploy, to get us away from our computers and back outside again....365 days of the year, lol :))

Glad mine only come out at night !

andrewr they do when hubby makes sawdust in the shed!

Sbg - isn't it easier just to do a rain dance?

what more rain :o))?

but he always makes a mess after the rain has done the work :o(
love him really.

Oh definitely, there is always something that needs to be done however hard we work out there.
