I'll settle for a trailer load of well rotted manure, but only if I get free labour to cart it to its final resting place!

I would most like some help / labour in my large garden, the back garden is productive,and doing well, but as I am full time carer for my 91 year old mother, I have not had time to do much with the front garden to make it attractive.

I think I must be very high maintenance, because both the things I'd want are HUGE :
either another enormous pile of s**t like the one I had for my birthday a couple of years ago, or a really really long length of leaky hosepipe (to set up an irregation system with).

But I'm not too sure how I'd react if I woke up and found the first one in my Christmas stocking!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But I doubt I'll get either.
Oh well, a girl can dream! :(

Diane, I think I know where it goes, when autumn came and the foliage died down in my garden, I found a few soggy remains of green twine around the garden - I have vowed that in spring the new twine I buy will be threaded into a large brightly coloured tin that I can't lose among the foliage ! :D
Mouse, with all that ( )wine, you willl most likely lose yours tin and all. :lol:

A large umbrella, preferably about an acre and perhaps with sun lamps under it.

Greenhouse work-benches, suitable for a half-sized greenhouse, about 4 ft by 4 ft. they'd have to be dismantlable so that plants eventualy set in the soil can get enough light.

Dear Donedigging, If you was to set some of your seeds instead of hoarding them, you would not need a bigger tin. :wink: :) :lol:
All the best
