A nice gardening knife and some dry days so that I can get digging on 2nd plot :-)
-
We usually buy ourselves a joint pressie. This year we have had some wall and table lamps for the lounge .Tee Gee's vegetable book, so that I can look at stuff to do whilst at the plot instead of having to wait until I get to his web site online. Tones had a crown for his front tooth ;D. ..We will probably think of something else we need during the next few weeks.

Ours is going to be a beehive (and bees) just found out that from next year we are allowed them on our plots! Hi everyone, been gone for a while, but i am back!!!!!

Trying to talk the OH in to allowing chickens in the garden but not doing well at the minute, he wants a dog and is trying to get round it by asking my 2 year old to ask me for one!
-
negotiate!! one dog = chickens, it works we have 3 dogs and have until recently kept chickens for 16 years!
-
Chickens would be a wonderful pressy. I have 6 so can't ask for any more. Highly amusing & educational, especialy for a 2 yera old ;) ;D.

Oh I really thought it was some sort of specially commissioned piece of art. It sounded rather unusual!
-
Does anyone want to commission one of these? I could have a stab at it, it could make someone's Christmas.
-
Why not try to do what has been done for years before the shops stopped us from doing it.
MAKE SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE.
I did and the missus went for it. She is a happy bunnie too.
I have made a few hives for the farmer in return for some xmas meat.

OH is getting a rear cross member for his series one land rover ;D
Mum, dad and sis are buying us a new dinner service 8)
I use the ebay sidebar method for pressie ideas as we share the same one.
-
I'd really love membership of the Heritage Seed Library, and I did sort of hint about it. I thought people might be able to club together. But I won't get it anyway.
In my experience, people always ask what you want, and whatever you say, they buy gloves.
I also asked my mum to knit me a square for holding the kettle or hot pan handles - but that's not for the allotment, obv.
I agree, landimad, hand-made presents are very special and flattering. But perhaps many of us are time-poor nowadays, and poor people in the developing world can make us sparkly objects but they can't give us more time.
-
The best Christmas present for me is to be give green fingers and a grrrrrrrreat summer and massive harvest
-
Noted.
We'll still just get you gloves though.
-
But they`ll have green fingers. Unless you have mittens.lol

My folks have got me a mahussive soil warming cable with thermostat and a 16A outdoor socket kit (with RCD) so that I can stick a power point somewhere to power it....
I know this cos I tracked them down on ebay, and thanks to my awesome skillz (and the slightly bad listings) what should be about 250 quids worth cost 40..... I reckon that cable should be able to put a decent amount of heat into a bed 3 feet by 8.... now I need an equally huge propagator lid..... Should make growing tomatoes and chillis easier this year....
