Ranked best pressies since arriving to The Larches:
- New log burners
- The greenhouse
- My wheelbarrow
- The Mattock
- My gardening apron (toolbelt for ladies..... say ladies in that dooble entendre voice)
- Extra long hosepipe.
It's funny but I was under the impression that potatoes should go in the ground by St Patricks, (17th March) but around here they're saying Good Friday.... Maybe it's because we're 500m above sea level. In any case last year I planted in March and got a wondrous crop, we'll have to wait and see what this year brings.
I am so impressed, most women I know have no idea what one is. A mattock was my father's idea of a rotto-tiller. In my hands that is! You go girl, but do mind the toes please.
ReplyDeleteI love my mattock too. Great for clearing ground and getting out the roots of brambles. Sadly no good for eradicating horsetail...if only there was a miracle cure :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you like hardware stores better than grocery stores. Me too.
ReplyDeleteI once received a 10" circular saw as a Valentines gift - far more useful than red roses and has lasted a damn site longer too!
ReplyDeleteThat thing scares me. Does it have an "big city" applications? Other than scaring away pigeons?
