Christmas list: gardening gifts
It is December (already) and Christmas is lurking around the corner like a tinsel clad, benevolent bogeyman, dripping with cranberry sauce and liqueur chocolates.

Manure. That's what I'd like, rather than a critique of your post.

i once gave my dad a ball of string for christmas. I was four and convinced that's what he wanted. Not sure I got that quite right.

When the days are cold and stormy, I just get out my garden planters and create - either great arrangements for the house or wonderful containers for those Christmas towels and soaps in the bathroom.

Christmas pressies this year are wellies for daughter and son-in-law with thick socks so I can have mine back, Dad some pruning tools as he's mislaid his thats through his old age, I want some new buckets to keep all the foliage that I cut for my class of ladies that I teach in my workshops as I have so much that I run out of them and now have to use the dustbin.

I would love an old fashioned wire hoe but cannot seem to get hold of one these days - if anyone has any ideas where I could buy one I would be very grateful.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... nice socks! Cashmere too. I wonder if we could be related.

I rather doubt it, Ms Sock, I fear that the large hole on the underside of the left toe precludes such elevated kinship.

Hello James, as a very messy "potter-upper", a set of pot/seed tray tampers in various sizes were a real bonus last year. I always intended to make my own but never got round to it. The socks sound good though. Merry Christmas.
