Christmas Gardening pressies!

[Dan 2]

Hi peeps! Was wondering if anyone (please!) could give me some ideas for a good gardening present. I just don't know what to ask for in that department! Please help! Dan :-)

Hey Dan! Well, I've been dead chuffed with the River Cottage Diary I so generously got me, I'm so kind!! I constantly use my trugs, love my pruning saw, and you can never have enough DMs.......What kinda price you talkng? 50p or £100 or....??

[Dan 2]

£30-50

Erm, OK, well, go to plot, take pad and pen, then when you're pootling about, there's bound to be some point where you'll say to self..."I could really do with a......" and fill in gap!!  ;D ie new boots, fork, covered drinking mug, beer, cooler, hat, shades, warmer socks, hoe, MP3 ( worth its weight in gold!) chiroprctor or holiday...... ;D

[Dan 2]

Thanks!

Send me the chiropractor's address if you can get one for 30 quid :( Well one session I suppose -just.

Hire a gardener to do the digging for a few hours  :)

Never enough canes, one of those compost daleks (that would be fun to wrap!), growbags, a 24 can pack of Stella ...

Box of wine  ;D

[Derekthefox]

I only ever drank wine on my allotment once ... on my 50th birthday. Took a bottle of blackberry down and shared a small glass with the neighbours, so when my wife arrived at 12, I was more than half cut... . Decided wine and gardening are not comfortable companions ...  ;D

Sound like a morning well spent Derek. :)
Baz had a parcel delivered yesterday, it was well wrapped but was very obviously a chillington hoe...imagine a guitar wrapped up without disguising it and you'll get the idea! Baz refused to confirm or deny that it was indeed a chillington hoe, but looks like my christmas pressie is sorted! :D

[wardy]

I was thinking along those lines Caz and can imagine someone trying to gift wrap a rotovator  ;D   I've ordered my old man a spade for Christmas - can't wait to have a go at wrapping that!  Shall I put it in a box or make no attempt to disguise it  ;D

I can remember when I bought him the dog  ;D ;D ;D

[undercarriage plan]

PLease tell me you didn't wrap the dog.... ;D

[Derekthefox]

Yes Caz and Baz, it was a superb morning, indeed a delightful day ... my neighbours cursed me though because the wine stopped them for the day !!!

Derekthefox :D

[wardy]

I left him an air hole  ;D

Do you think the old man will guess what this is? 

[undercarriage plan]

 ::) ::) ::) ;) no, Wardy, cos not.......... erm try ....  no that won't work.....scratching head here..  Aha!.....put it in a bath, and wrap the bath!! Then he'll think you've bought him a bath, but you haven't, well you will have done, but that's just a distraction from the spade in the bath......... ;D ;D ;D

[Derekthefox]

Erm Wardy, do we get three guesses ?

Derekthefox :D

[wardy]

Lottie     I think I understand what you mean  ;D   I shall cunningly disguise it as sommat else.  Er ......... any suggestions

I've hid it behind a pile of stuff in the wardrobe.  I bet I forget it's there  ???
