You'd have to be carefull - he could have a stroke at anytime ... but I'm not sure he'd let YOU have a stroke.

what about an all terain seat, someone recomended it last year and i picked it up and i use it every time i am on the lotty. I use it for weeding it saves my back and i also use it as a spare chair when people pop over for a coffee :)

I got mine on ebay cheaper than this and did not bother with the cushion so i can quite happily forget it in the lotty and dont have to worry about weather i put the cushion in the shed :)

i would like a huge length ( 8 x 6 ) of horticultural ground cover fabric to cover my little lottie for the winter to keep it snug and weed free ready for the spring. ::)

I took the day off work and spent a happy day clearing it today- its so loooovely and neat and im all excited thinking about what to grow next spring :)

some sunshine and a little smile from all the lovely ladies as they go by my plot

debster · « **Reply #32 on:** September 19, 2008, 20:10:54 »

i would like someone to make me up a little hamper with some nice gardening soap, gloves (not expensive poundland would do cos i lose em) some nice hand cream, a nice jar of coffee, a cake, a few packets of seeds and other little sundries, nothing expensive just a few little things in a box or tray would be lovely (one of those blue veg trays would do then i could re use it) ;D

A voucher from one of my family promising me a days worth of digging - with no moaning! ;D

A manicure, to pamper my gardeners hands. I treat myself occasionally and it is a really good tonic.

A nice young man who likes to spend a lot of time on his knees...(for weeding of course). Failing that, manure would be appreciated - Dad and OH take note.

Someone to do my dayjob for me so I can spend my time on the garden instead. A greenhouse. A willing team of assistants. Someone to break up the concrete path and take it away. Fruit bushes. A bit more room for a pond. A hammock to lie in one day when it's all done - hahahaha!
