...saunters in, singing..."Oh! Oh! WHO's got the last laugh now"...?

How much you lot paid....good money, eh? Queen's head on the coins and orl? And how you've been gloating...."99p for eight? I got 15 for that.." "well I got 1,058 for sixpence." on and on and bloody on, you've been going....

Well!....I went to the Co-Op, got 22 black buckets (OK, strictly speaking, some were more grey than black, but you're getting the idea)? and the total cost was.........

told you all you needed was patience my dear.  you little disbeliever you.

and to threaten poor wahaj's poppy crop, that really was quite mean.   ;D

[Hyacinth]

Buy,  KP, I didn't BUY them from Morrisons...I'll say it again, reeeeeallly slowly,  cos I'm really enjoying this...I  GOT  THEM  FOR  FREE  FROM  THE  CO-OP !!! tra-la-la

AND, nice girl said they'd other sizes, too, if I was interested? Now howzabout that for twisting the knife.....smaller ones for ring culture, middle sized ones for carrots, larger ones for....dunno.....a stupendous celeriac  perhaps?

And My Friend Wahaj has quite forgiven me, I'm sure..I'm sending him a couple of vouchers for free heathers from Wyvale...I'm only waiting for him to tell me his favourite colour & I'll throw in a can of spray paint as well ;D

[MrsKP]

excuse me, i'm a bit hard of hearing this morning  ;D

free free
i just wanna be
free as the wind and the rain and the sea multi-coloured/sized buckets !

well done you.  all you had to do was ask lmao

and you might have permantly damaged your friend wahaj.  i'm glad you've settled out of court.

 ;D

[Hyacinth]

Oh KP, I so need your smilies....roflmao.... ;D ;D ;D

And I hope that you're smiling too Wahaj this morning :-* I'm putting the vouchers in the post to you today :)

WOT! cat got yer tongues?  :P

[ACE]

Are those the biodegradable buckets that the co-op use. Don't leave them out in the rain. You can tell if they are not the everlasting ones because they are not quite black ;D

[Little Weed]

Yes, but what can you usefully do with 48 black buckets on an allotment? In my innocence, I thought the point of allotment gardening was to plant stuff in the ground. . . Please demystify me with some good ideas!

[lorna]

OK Buster I paid 99p for 8buckets over on the Isle Of Wight.. Ace. I have just fell about laughing, I know she is a friend but just imagine if all her buckets landed up in a horrible mess,  there wouldn't be enough BLEEPS  to put in her conversation :o :o :o

[greyhound]

Our local supermarket pays us to take their buckets away ......  ;) ;D

[MrsKP]

roflmao ........ bio-degradeable ??????  she'll go ballistic. 

and do you know what Little Weed, in all the fuss I have actually forgotten what they are for  !!! lol.

To use them for ring culture thingies, you have to cut the bottom out (right pain), they are useful to confine things such as mint and rampant wotsits that like to take over your garden/plot but you have to make drainage holes with sharp hot implements trying not to gas yourself while you do it.

I also have about 6 all over the garden so i have a handy bucket available for prunings, nibbled tomatos, dead leaves and the like, oh and i've got carrots, spring onions and evening primrose in them as i've run out of ground.

what i'm going to do with the other 40 is a mystery, but when you see them, you have to have them.

 ;D

rofl @ ACE and the Hound

 ;D ;D ;D

Lishka

[wahaj]

yup. i've forgiven lishka. even though all my seed are gone when my bf left them outside and it rained heavily...and....well it was a big mush with some seeds allover. so god knows what's what. i've just chucked them around the garden hoping something will germinate and surprise me next year haha.

so her curse did work!

[mc55]

H A L L E L U I A H   ! ! !

[Hyacinth]

Oh Wahaj, all your beautiful poppy seeds....still, bet they'll germinate & you'll have Flags of Denmark all over the place next year ;D I left my box of seeds out in the rain earlier this year...the packets were sodden but the seeds were OK in their little foil packets.....cept for the runner bean seeds of course :o  So I cooked them ;D

yea i mean some of them are ok....but i'm not too sure what's what. most of the packets have had the ink washed off.

but yea i'll probably use the poppies in cooking aswell. probably sprinkle them on bread.
