    Hi Intermiplants I have managed at last to post pics of the squirrel from my story on page 2 - this was before I had put up the suqirrel safe nut holder . Sorry about the quality.

    Hi Seeker of knowledge pretty good catching your crafty squirrel and then posting them up here.

    I was wondering though do you think he/she would be any good at poo flinging? :D

    wife went shopping just for a change ysterday and she bought me some nice tulip bulbs. so before she got her new coat out of the bag ,new shoes,and jumpers. she gives me these bulbs and says ive bought you summert just to soften me up :D :D it always happens little does she know that when she goes shopping i zip all round the garden cntrs and buy loads.anyway i was in the garden ysterday and the wife said can i plant the bulbs i did try and help but she wanted to do it herself so i left her to it asked her what the catch was as she never touches the garden . so i gave her the gloves and let her do it came back in the house and said that when they come up they are her bulbs and she was really chuffed [​IMG] but when she was cooking tea i had to uncover them to see what she had done oh no she had only planted the lot in front of my rockery upside down :D :D i sorted it out but couldnt stop lafin last night . cant tell her today as we are goin out for dinner so ill tell her tonight :D

    Ste that was very nice of your good lady to buy and plant something in your garden for you...very sweet indeed! ;)

    I don't think it is wise telling her that she planted them upside down as it might put her off gardening and you wouldn't want that as you might be able to con her into doing your weeding for you! :D

    Copy cat neighbours!
    --------------------

    Hi all most of you will know I have a neighbour with four 'lovely' cats that like to do their business in my borders of which I like to fling the poo right back over the hedge late at night. :D

    Sorry for the terrible pun with the title of this post but cat lady seems to be having quite a good nosy in my garden as she can see all three sides of it....just yesterday I noticed she has two cordys which she got after mine of course and now she has strung them up just like mine on our back garden.

    She's not into gardening but seems to be keeping up with us by trying to copy everything that I do....I wonder if she'll dance naked in the garden next time it's full moon if I do! :D

    Helen It is called keeping up with the Jones's [​IMG] :D She obviously thinks that you have such good tastes that she feels the need to have the same plants as you have :D

    We planted a tree in our front garden the first Autumn after we had moved in.It was an Alamanchia{Snowey Melphis} and thought that no one else would have thought of planting the same tree.How wrong were we.Our next door neighbour had also bought one unbeknown to us as we didn't know them then and the couple over the road has one as well,so each year all three of us families have 'Snow In Summer' and we have a little light hearted competition to see who's will be in flower first.Talk about great minds thinking alike [​IMG]

    Dancing naked and mole skin pants..... what would people think reading this thread for the first time?

    They might think this forum is full of nutters and they wouldn't be far wrong! [​IMG]

    Ste the fishing line and sticks does work I did that to my herb border last winter it's a bit of a pain to work around.....you end up in a knot yourself! [​IMG]
