Title: OLD JIMMY
Post by: davyw1 on June 02, 2007, 22:23:41
Old Jimmy who is a young 74 never seems to get it right, last year he asked Billy (neighboring garden) and myself if we wanted some courgettes so we took some and grew Squashes. The year before he asked us if we wanted some Courgettes and we Cucumbers.
This year asked if Macca (next garden ) wanted some Tumling Tomato,s for a hanging baskets so Macca got them.
This years result

A while back i was sitting having a break when Old Jimmy came round into my garden with a sweat on. " Phew, bit warm Davy". What you been doing Jim, Rotorvating the garden was his reply. We sat for a while then it dawned on me that Jimmy,s rotorvater was still going, so i went to have a look, followed by Jimmy.
Here is Jimmy,s idea of rotervating with his cap in his hand and held to chest. I am sure he is saying "Thank you Lord"
