As a result of their actions we lost all our vast collection of plant pots, propagators, seed trays, seeds, tools and numerous other gardening goodies that I'm still trying to identify from the blackened, mangled heaps.
Anyway, IG from 'The Idiot Gardener' having read my tale of woe, very kindly sent me a goodie box to begin my seed replacement and to cheer me up ....it worked!
Look what he sent me :D
If you haven't read his blog before, go over and have a read. He claims to be a beer swilling idot, but I think that's just a front because he's actually a very articulate writer who appeals to my sense of humour, often wanders off at an apparently random tangent then makes me laugh out loud. He's also just a little bit rude at times , but that usually makes me laugh too!
The world's biggest tomato seed collection?!
I have NO idea why Blogger insists on turning this photo on its side! I've had numerous attempts to get it the right way up, but to no avail - so you're stuck with it!
But just in case you can't read sideways, these are things I've never grown before -
fennel, hot cayenne peppers, munchkin pumpkins and salsify.....
I can't wait to get them started, so I'm off to blag some spare pots off my local gardening friends .....but before I go, I just want to say Thank You IG from the bottom of my compost bin. You have restored my faith in my fellow men!
