Of course to garden is a verb! Its a very active verb. In fact I pulled up armloads of montbretia and crocosmia even if it was just coming into flower, as I had a skip to chuck it all in. Dratted stuff. Pretty but dratted.

I kicked a dandelion over today. Does that count as garden work?

I tend to avoid the verb, 'garden' completely, but I sometimes leave my house and visit the noun, 'garden'. By the way, are Montbretia and Crocosmia the same thing, 'cos I have tons of what I thought were Crocosmia. I leave them alone as they fill in empty spaces. They shouldn't be surviving living with me but they have been growing here for decades, because I ignore them.

Depends on whether you kicked it intentionally, or accidentally. If you kicked it intentionally then your secret is out, you are a gardener! Eat yer heart out Monty Don!

(shows ignorance) Wot?

Internet meme, "Draw me like one of your French girls".
Talk of naked and gardening conjures image of louche lettuce.

Google search will give you the idea. Careful though, might be some NSFW images included in the results.

Started off as a line from Titanic between the two main characters right before they got the ship sunk by distracting the lookouts :pac:

I'm totally mystified, and happy to be, too. :):)

Alice1

I'm joyfully mystified too. Joyful mystification.

looksee

What are you all mystificated about?

Rubecula

I am sweet and innocent myself so I am lost for words with all this suggestive talk about salads and vegetables

I saw that film Titanic, hated it, never remembered any of the script afterwards. All I remember was not being able to get up off my seat at the end because the film was so long, and my knees had stiffened up. Music was good though.

Mod: ok folks, enough with the suggestive vegetables. I'm having difficulty justifying censoring a parsnip, but there have been objections so lets leave it at that please.

We can't have that, I've removed the offending veg...

Rubecula

rude parsnips are really not for consumption of the O&O's Broccoli on the other hand ...... If you don't eat your veggies you get no pudding ... by order of Matron.

Rude Parsnips.......wouldn't that be a good name for a rock band?

*pokes thread with a big stick so see if there is any life. Wanders off muttering to make a cup of tea*

Does anyone care that I have been poorly sick for three weeks now, with a cold. A cold for 3 weeks. Ridiculous. Went and got some antibiotics finally for the chest, doc says 'you sound as though you smoke 40 a day'. Hmph. Never smoked. Getting bored with it now.

Get well soon looksee

Thanks for the nearly hug Rube, I appreciate the thought, don't blame you though, apparently its a virulent bug.

Jellybaby1

Get well soon Looksee. Himself has had the same thing for the last couple of weeks. Surprisingly no-one else in the house caught it from him. We obviously kept our distance. He is presently receiving succour from his Fisherman's Friends.

looksee

Thanks JB, I caught it from a briefly passing snuffly grandchild. I have been polluting the house for 3 weeks with himself who has stage 4 COPD and is on 24 hour oxygen, and all the little germs have (fortunately) slithered past him, not so much as a sneeze!

The last thing your chap needs are bugs. He must be spraying you every time you enter the room!
