As for the water-feature, my father-in-law has used a spade , and the hose runs through it!!! pmsl. Well, it does do well for small-talk at BBQ’s! :lol:
Novel idea…
There’s a toilet in the garden from where we just had our bathroom done. I wonder…
Oh, you just have to! :lol:
You could stick a spade in, have the hose running through it, and down the loo! hehehehe
Alas, the toilet has gone. I’d probably get the local drunks taking a seat, lol.

They can, but it takes a while. They are slow and sluggish. :D

No doubt they stop half way for a picnic of pie and hovis sandwiches and an pint of John Smiths. :D

2 July, 2012 at 9:03 am #500349lol Cosy and Panda – I have gone a bit different this year, and am determined to prove people wrong. Instead of geraniums (they just have GOT to be scarlett), a friend of mine sent me som sweet pea seeds. They are growing!! Whether they continue to do so, and flower, I don’t know yet, but everyone says “no chance” – If they do – I suppose I best be the hostess to prove it! :lol:
As everyone had a really cold winter -17 didn’t help a lot of my plants – my Jasmine died and I had it trained up and around our awning, which is outside our kitchen, and it smelt gorgeous. I only mention that, because I have two climbing roses either side of our front door, so, when it is hot like it is now and I open the windows, the perfume comes into the house – dunno what they are called though, but they are a deep red with large petals, and flower all summer :D
Just for Panda’s sake – I have loads more bamboo (and deffo try the vinegar – it works!) :wink: For Cosy – the season is the same here as in the UK, so you gonna have to wait till October! :wink:
2 July, 2012 at 9:55 am #500350hmmm sweet peas eh, a lot of people get them mixed up with sweet williams,and then try to bring them back to me,where they are met with a firm NO!, sold as seen baby,another ruse crafty people try is to dig up some crappy plants from the roadside,put them in one of my trays, and say i want my money back, i bet you can guess my reply :D
on a further note, mimulus have been voted the plant of the year
try them they spread for fun.

Why should they serve a purpose to humanity?
