    praise indeed

    had to share this

    while at my allotment today was chatting to a gold standard fellow allotment holder. this elderly gentleman has 3 plots and supplies a local pub with veg.
    "ah well we can all only try our best " said i
    " i think you keep your plot looking lovely and tidy" was the reply

    i nearly fainted, but thanked him and then viewed my jungle in a new light

    it made my day

      Wow - praise indeed.

      nice to have someone with that attitude; with us it's
      'you'll need more water than that' as we turn up with a few squash bottles to water in newly planted out veg.
      Or 'the twitch is coming through again - it never stops does it' [no it doesn't - especially when you never actually dig your plot matey];
      or 'if you get any potatoes out of that lot' [er, we have got 3 out already with a simple furtle and they've only been in 8 weeks you muppet]
      or 'well, if you've nothing better to do than to weed your plot' [what rather than wade through it like yours which is waist deep in weeds?]
      or 'I wondered what the cardboard was for' [er - adding organic material, keeping the weeds down - its not rocket science old man]..


      I keep my tongue well sealed as the guy lives next to the plot and I don't want any mishaps but flippin heck - can't they let it go???

      Yes; it's got weeds
      Yes, we weed it
      Yes, we have planted veg in it
      Get over it!!!

      *rant over*
