              If you are a gardener you must be superstitious . Who doesn't run naked around the garden three times on every solstice , to get a good crop :biggrin:
              I have just taken decorations down this afternoon , while it is nice and sunny .

                      And in the spring, us gardeners drop our trousers and put our bare bums on the soil to test the temperature, if it makes you go :yikes: Then it's still too cold to sow :biggrin:

                        That wouldn't work here, not cold enough. But if a bare bottom lit upon a thorn, it would get the desired result. :wow:

                            @Baymule Twelfth night is supposed to denote the end of the Christmas period and is considered the correct time to take down your Christmas decorations.
