Oh heavens, Mr P has surpassed himself! ?

I’m shocked. I’m tempted to divert thread to vegetables.
My son sent me this clip this morning.

Suddenly, the tone of this thread has lowered. Haha.

That was brilliant SpringyChicken,i laughed out loud and told my DH who did the same.
About time we had a good old laugh.thank you.

Perhaps, SpringyChicken could be a bit like old men's earlobes, iykwim?

Trailing labia, now there's a thought.

Mr P did something similar, asking the garden centre lady if she had any trailing labia in stock.

He probably thinks that the vulva is a Swedish motor car.

I go cold whenever I see DD or SIL wandering round the garden 'looking' at things. What they know about plants would not even fit on the smallest postage stamp.
It has been my project since I moved here and after 8 years it is finally looking good.

Splutter!

My podiatrist was discussing plants with a patient who said she must see her amazing Chlamydia.

You've reminded me - friends bought a house which had a rather spectacular weeping willow tree set in the lawn. The husband chopped the fronds back so that he could mow the grass without having to bend down.

Funny posts ???

My husband's idea of gardening is to get the chainsaw and shredder out. He doesn't like any plants being taller than himself.
He needs very close supervision ?

Sounds like mine but he also has weed killer in his arsenal.

phoenix I just hang lots of tree chocolates on the one in my lounge. My minded children are allowed to find one a day each ?

Luckygirl the loss of fresh raspberries, oh no!!
One little boy brought a pot of raspberries in his lunchbag from home this week, turned his nose up at them and gave them back to me. I felt like saying, "Don't you know how lucky you are?" !

OH once triumphantly came in and told me he had weeded the raspberry canes - hmmmm. End of raspberries.

SpringChicken I be just laughed out loud at that one - hilarious ?

Thank you V3ra they really do look very pretty when decorated!

There are 3 of different heights, and we have so many silver and white frosted ornaments that they end up smothered!

We used to have a real tree, but as it's only Mr P and I, and the tree was costing in excess of £35, we decided to go down this route.

My husband used to regularly ask me when the garden would be finished! He wasn't allowed to touch it, except for mowing the lawns!

Ooh I like your twig tree woodland corner phoenix!
I have three of those but in different rooms and they're out all year round, though without the decorations.

Yes, I was right bloody awful photo.

It looks much better than than that, honestly.

On holiday in Madeira, my husband was delighted to recognise a plant growing wild which we had as a house plant at home. "It's a ... erm...don't tell me, I know its name... erm... Creeping Jesus". Close. It was Wandering Jew.

Now that is funny!

Thank you all!

Charleygirl and Knittynatter, thank you for your posts!

No, he didn't mean a Christmas tree, for the last three years we have gone for a group of 3 twig trees, decorated.

Will try to attach a pic, but don't hold your breath, and if I do manage to do it, the pic won't be very good.

"You know, that green thing with leaves"
I wondered if he meant a cabbage

I also thought you were going to get your Christmas tree!!

phoenix did he mean a Christmas tree?! The world is your oyster with what will be on offer- he may regret it.
