Were you norty or nice then and did Santa bring you the gardening goodies on your list?
I received a Grow Light garden - basically seed trays in a frame with a full spectrum light. A very nifty pop up net tunnel for the plot for brassica growing. A lethal looking Japanese hand hoe for weeding - lethal to my fingers or the weeds is yet to be determined :unsure: and a very pretty tin of poppy seeds embedded in clay and compost balls that you just scatter about where you want flowers. The clay absorbs water, breaks down and makes a little seed bed for them.
Oh and lots of hand cream ??? Looks at state of hands and nails - OK fair enough :lol:

Funny about the handcream... I got my fair share too :lol: :lol:
I got two dark green towels to use at the plot. but nothing as grand as your grow-pod thingy.
Mine were mainly kitchen things, like a massive stick blender (I feel soup coming on) a gorgeous mandolin (prep for dehydrating could be much quicker), and still to come.. tiger nuts to grow, some "Living Stone" succulent seeds and peppadew-style pepper seeds
Very happy!!! :D :D

I got a long-handled 3 pronged cultivator, a lovely Cath Kidston oilcloth bag - to put my hand tools in so I don't keep losing them (in theory :lol:) and Bob Flowerdew's Organic Bible to replace the one I lost ::)
A pretty bowl with crocus corms plus compost, and a water glass with hyacinth to grow.
Happy bunny here :D

All I wanted for Christmas was a new wheelbarrow for the allotment - one with a solid wheel to ensure no punctures. It has arrived and been tested.
Poor old one had only scrap value.
