Quite a daft thing to do. I made an 'island' out of a pallet with milk bottles underneath for bouyancy as Monty did on GW a few weeks ago. I think my grandson was hoping I'd fall in.
made ginger beer for the first time so proud was i.bottled it and put it on the landing in the night we heard an enormouse bang thought it was a blinking bomb but no, me silly idiot put screw caps on the bottles instead of corks,all the bottles exploded the glass got stuck in the wall. we could of been dead.never again
Does anyone else agree with me that those interested in gardening have a wonderful sense of humour, on the whole. I suppose with all the ups and downs, you have to. I've had a good chuckle at these posts.
I am always doin daft stuff accidently . The other day went to homebase picketd up a tin of black fence paint brought it home and stupidly left it on sunny patio a few hours later I thought I'd try it out on the new fence . Brush in hand And I gently shake the tin and with a chisel pop open the tin but it burst open splattering my holly that for the first time 3 years had berries forming spent a time cleaning while hubby had a cheesy grin and telling me the scientific facts of warm paint and shaking a can and something called pressure ha ha
Whilst on a self catering holiday in France my Mam bought some "pasties" from the supermarket and served them up with peas. Soon found out they were chocolate croissants!
... but the latest visitors are a family of hungry hares.
Yesterday I read in a gardening magazine that a lady in New Zealand stopped rabbits eating her garden by spreading used coffee grounds around her plants. She renewed them every 2-3 weeks and says it has been very successful - maybe worth a try for discouraging hares?
