GA - we invested in an extra large pressure cooker (holds 7 one quart/L bottles) that doesn't require those rubber seals. It's made of thick aluminum and has withstood 15 years of bottling so far, and still going strong.

I got a set of stainless steel hand tools, trowel, planting trowel, fork. All in a wooden presentation box. Absolutely great. She's a wonderful Santa my Missus .

Nah, I had to go.

Go to Prague to shop in Tescos, seems a long way to me, though.

Funny isn't it - I got nothing remotely related to gardening - but I did get a huge cookie jar (as if I need one).

I just watched my pressie that arrived late from the USA - a DVD of Siddhartha that I last saw in 1973 in Cockfosters  :shock:

It's as beautiful as I remembered

I can see it now - John trying to apply ancient Indian mysticism to the blight overtaking his toms and spuds    

I got squat this year in gardening stuff despite numerous hints, but I did give my mum a large plastic trug. At first she didn't have a clue what it was, but I think she'll soon figure loads of uses for it  

Mumsy, you'll just have to hint harder, as in, write a wish list that you tack to the fridge or the bathroom door.

Do not worry, tomato - you will be reborn as a parsnip.

[love-my-plot]

I got a couple of "grow it" things. Some new wellies for down the plot, a garden planning calender    Just have to read when everthing needs sowing now so I can fill it in    I got a new laptop too so can read this forum from the comfort of the sofa, in front of a lovely blazing, fire. Perfect!
