Why don`t you have a pull-a-weed BBQ?
Your friends come round and help weed, while you prepare food on the barbi. You get your garden weeded and you all have a good time.I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. -
I would but might take me about 10 hours to get there!LOLThe greatness comes not when things go always good for you,but the greatness comes when you are really tested,when you take,some knocks,some disappointments;because only if youv'e been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.Comment

If I come and help you out, you have to come and weed my onions for me - only 15,000 to do by hand. You up for it ??

Last year, I took the decision to start growing veg for a living and not just as a hobby, so I now operate a 5 acre market garden and run a small (but expanding) veg box scheme.Originally posted by Claire72 View PostLol thanks for the offers guys, but maybe not!!!

Take a look at my Members Blog for more on what I do.Last edited by sewer rat; 07-07-2008, 08:58 PM.Rat

i'm fed up of not knowing which the weeds are, i know some of the 'weeds' are flowers, but i'm not sure which ones, as i can't remember what i planted in there other than that they were all black red and purple ....... which doesn't help much while everything is still green
but i have worked out the grass, dandelions, buttercups and nettles, cos they sting and the thing that might be chickweed that i still haven't got a photo of, cos it keeps rainingComment
