The gardener's Christmas wish list
« on: December 09, 2017, 12:03 »
Well I have got a couple of actual gardening gifts on the way, but if Santa is listening, what I would really really like is ....

A self filling compost bin, so I have an endless supply of that black gold I never have enough of and a territorial all purpose predator that loves aphids, caterpillars and white fly and promises never to stray from my plot.

I have (mostly) been a good girl so I do honestly deserve them  :nowink:  :lol:

I'd quite like the same, if that's ok?  :D

A reliable cure for club root that doesn't include buying seeds that are sort of slightly resistant.

you've got me thinking now new shoot when you say mostly  :blush: If I could ask farther Christmas for  a pied piper that could take all those dreaded slugs away to another plot  :D

and a nice chair that I could have forty winks down the allotment and dream of being on a desert island with scantly dressed girls serving ice cold lager probably my O/H would say wake up your snoring    :lol:

Dear Santa
I have tried really, really hard to be good this year and have even (mainly) resisted buying unnecessary seeds, so please, please may I have one of those gadgets that dig out seven years' worth of  mulched down woodchip, transfer it to the waiting compost bin and replace it with nice fresh woodchip.

I would be very grateful

Best wishes for a restful Boxing Day, and a big thank you, from

Sunny

PS I shall leave some of our home made sloe gin out for you as usual x

I've resorted to asking the family to club together to buy me a wheelbarrow with a hard wheel rather than one that gets punctures. You don't want to see the state of my 10 year old one.  ;)

Now that will be good. I changed the wheel on mine to a solid one as I was fed up with the peneumatic one going flat... hope the family pay good attention  ;)
