    What is the one vegetable you could not miss growing?

    What is the one flower you could not miss growing?

    What is the one tool you cannot garden without?

    What is your favourite garden bird?

                        I was feeling part of the scenery
                        I walked right out of the machinery
                        My heart going boom boom boom
                        "Hey" he said "Grab your things
                        I've come to take you home."

                          "Wha????!!!Eh????!!! In fits of giggles here - please enlighten me!"

                          For weeding, it's much slimmer than anything else I have found. The sharp end means I don't disturb anything else just the weed!

                          just don't tell OH that that's why all his screwdrivers are disappearing!
