Dear OH

How about this picture of you tending your windowbox




I remember some years ago someone suggesting that you were a young woman with a windowbox.

Hi all,

Alan ,OH is in this months KG.... large photo, page 73, even my OH picked it up for a look and thought gardening could be interesting!!

Dear OH. Re the marmalade. I have to confess that I bought ten jars of their awful stuff two weeks running!! So, yes, the thought occurred to me that their distributors would be rubbing their hands in glee and send shed loads of the stuff to Hull, thinking their sales had gone through the roof. Cheers.

Dear Donedigging, i have to admit i did pause a while over page 73 myself, now that young lady certainly would brighen up the dullest of allotments.

[Elaine]

Why is there never any pictures of fit men gardeners in KG???? Someone resembling that hunky bloke in the coke adverts of a couple of years ago, would be very nice... Surely there are some out there somewhere? Anyone in this forum care to apply???? Cheers, Elaine.

Gave myself a day off from weeding and planting today and took off to the Lakes before the great unwashed invasion next weekend.
Went first to Holehird (the Lake District Horticultural Society garden for those who don't know it) but it was in the fog and quite cold. Some nice things out, particularly Hellebores, Trilliums and Daffodils but light was poor so no photos.
Decided to risk going on to our common coffee spot of the view of Brothers Water from Kirkstone Pass and were surprised to find North of the pass it was bright and sunny. After coffee went down along Ullswater and had a walk at Aira force. Thought I would share with you a couple of waterfall pics and some passing wildlife. Later had a picnic with a view of Blencathra with snow on it then home down the old A6 over Shap. Batteries recharged to plant potatoes tomorrow!

Dear Geoff, gorgeous photos as always.

Dear OH,
I am glad to see that even in beautiful Bedfordshire your snow finally melts at last!! That must of seemed like a long winter for you all.

[oldherbaceous]

Dear Donedgging, i normally find someone to sit infront of my log fire with me, so not a long enough winter really.

[donedigging]

Dear Oh,
Well it has been known to snow at Easter....(hope you managed to get the young ladys phone number from page 73!!)

[oldherbaceous]

Dear Donedigging, she's not really my type, i prefer the older lady.

[donedigging]

Dear OH,
More like this you mean?

[oldherbaceous]

Now your talking Donedigging, beats those size zero girls anyday, and full of character as well no doubt.
