undercarriage plan

A clout...mmm.... strange word that one, I don't think I've ever worn a clout? Or have I and never knew?  ???
You'd need teeny weeny pegs wouldn't you....and wouldn't they go crispy? The worms, not the pegs... ::) Ooo then you could put them in the tequilla!! Ah see, I knew I'd get there......

It basically means don't do anything in the garden until May has gone as the weather is so unpredictable until then.  I think clout probably refers to clout nails as in making sheds etc.  It's an old Lancashire saying.
My cousin used to peg worms when he was very small but I wouldn't advise it! ;D

One of my favourite 20th century 'folklore' sayings, sadly American in origin:

- If it ain't broke, then don't fix it ...

Derekthefox :D

My eldest daughter once pulled a worm til it snapped in half :o

don't know if this counts but anyway - chives like fresh coffee grinds :)
If you don't make mistakes, you'll never make anything!

the_snail

One years weed, seven years seed. I think that is correct. It could be the other way around.

Why would you put a slug in ya sock  ??? ??? ???

hmmmmm

The_Snail
Be kind to slugs and snails!

Derekthefox

No you have that saying correct Snail, implying the seed is active for seven years ...

Derekthefox :D

Teachers drinking in the pub, passing round the ready rub.

There that one might not be about gardening but at least it is decent - sorry everybody.  Too much to drink last night.

It's alright it's not New Year yet so I can keep doing dodgy posts when I get home from the pub.
