    I dont talk to the plants so much as the birds. If yhe woodpecker shouts at me because he wants to come down - I find myself shouting to him "I was here first" Sad really isn't it! :D

    Ths thread made me laugh, I do talk to my plants but I do it in my head, so when someone surprises me in the garden I'm always worried I've been thinking out loud.

    Talking to the plants and worms is perfectly normal people, no need to be alarmed. Trust me, I`m a professional.:tnp::grn::D

    Dee, I`m a big softie really. If I`m cutting a lawn and there`s a slug on it, I will kick the slug onto the path and then tell it off cos it could have died a nasty death.:D
