Fruit Hammocks ...... (A bit of fun).

Alan .. great idea ...
quick ... apply for the Fruit Hammock Patent!

Thanks Terra, already applied .... "Patent Pending" ...lol

PS I'll be giving the tree a good shake later today !

Lol...
You might get some surprises falling in the hammock ..
Minnie Mouse ? ... let us know !

There WILL be some surprises .... Te he .... <]:~))

I will take the appropriate precautions though, safety helmet, safety glasses and maybe bullet proof vest.

Hoping some wellies might descend ...

... this would then qualify for GoYpedia Wellies ...
... and possibly even provide a new event for the GoY Wellie Olympics ;o)

<]:~)))

Brilliant! Oh I feel so envious of your greengage tree - can quite understand that you have no wish to share them with the slugs!

What a fantastic idea, Alanb!

I might give it a try next year?!
No royalty will be paid to you though, because the patent is still pending lol

Thanks Sue and Tomoe, I'll be giving the tree a shake later today to speed things up a little ..... Just wondering what will fall out of the tree ..... <]:~ ))

I've had a few gg's with my cereal and fancy trying to make some jam. I think you mentioned this Tomoe, when I posted the first photo. I am really surprised that they are not more popular. Of course there will be a crumble or two in there as well.

Tomoe, I have just spoken to my solicitor and if the patent is approved, you will have to pay me backdated royalties ......... lol......... £'s£'s£'s£'s ...........I will be happy to accept Euros as well. <]:~))))

lol lol lol

I think there's no such thing as "backdated royalties". I have to talk to my lawer in this matter :p

Good luck with your jam!

Thank you.

Terra, do you happen to possess a crystal ball by any chance? I have just added a photo of what happened when I shook the tree ......(trying to speed things up a little). Plenty of plums, but, a few other unexpected surprises....... lol. <]:~))

Could you invent a similar device to put under
Blueberry Bushes. I pick every day. Still some fall off.

No problem Diane.

Alan ..
Be afraid ... be very afraid ...
.. the blog appeared on GoYpedia just before the wellies fell into the hammock ...

Terra, " I am extremely terrified now", can you tell me what is going to happen in my life this week please .... Only tell me the nice stuff, then I won't worry ...... lol <]:~))

PS I am going to take a look in the Wellies section of GoYpedia now, just to see what else is there.

The saying "You don't have to be mad, but it helps" come to mind ... lol! :o)

lol Shirley_t, I've been a member since April this year and you've only just noticed ..... <]:~))

Comes to us all after a while Alan ... love your hat too!

It's my happy hat. Mad, but happy heh ... lol

Yes indeed Alan ... I really should stop playing on here and go garden for me old Mum soon. See you later ... :o)

Hope you did a nice job in your Mum's garden Shirley_t !

Lol great idea Alan ,I can see we'll be seeing you on Dragons Den before long, just make sure you take Micky along they're a sucker for anything cute.

Now that's a great idea Kathy.... Love the idea of being an "enter-pruner"...... lol

Maybe start growing Pitaya ..

... Dragon Fruit Den ....

Nice one Terra, must admit I had to google that one ... lol
Strange looking fruit from a cactus. Wonder if Hywel has any?

Hmmmm ...
sorry, I don't think your cactus comment will qualify this blog for GoYpedia Desert Plants... but I'll give you a 'like' for a good try ;o)

Terra, You can't blame me for having a go..... lol? Just checked the 'H's' in GoYpedia ....... No Helicopter section ...... You couldn't sneak it under Heliconia and tell admin. it was a slip of the finger ..... lol.

Incidentally the Heliconia looks a lovely plant, with a magnificent flower.

Wot ? no GoYpedia Helicopter page ?

Instead, how about under Trees ...
... Plane Trees ...

Terra you get worse...

:o)))

Alan ... Mum is happy with my gardening for her ... but I did wonder whoe or what had trampled over her Privet hedge in the front garden ... a neighbour informed me it was a couple of Foxes running through it ... grrr!

Terra, very good, plane trees it is!

Shirley_t, glad your Mum was happy with your work. Foxes heh... <];~((

Alan, one Privet hedge trimmed back into shape this morning ... thank goodness for electric hedge-trimmers! Turns out the Foxes live between a nearby football pitch and the school playground ... let's hope they stay in that area in the future. :o)

The electric trimmers do save a lot of manual labour.
We have a fox that visits us occasionally, which we don't mind, as it doesn't stay long and doesn't do any damage. One year would you believe, it came into the garden picked a conference pear up off the ground, then took it under the hawthorn hedge, lay down and ate it.

Sounds like one wily Fox!!

Great idea Alan :D
I hope nothing fell on your head ! ... ;o)

Shirley_t, true! It probably fancied a piece of fruit for desert!

No Hywel, nothing heavy anyway, only the odd green gage ... lol.

lol ... that's good :)
