Alpine Garden Society. (Why do they need a club for this type of garden ?)
Sow at frequent intervals for continuous cropping.
Visit our website to find a full list of publications . (no address or travel directions.)
All hedge work. (I have never seen a hedge do any work.)
Many hands make light work. (Be ok on dark evenings.)
Potted palm. (Need a big pot.)
Border fork. (How do you cook a border?)
Garden rake.( Never seen one on the allotments they are all well behaved.)
Down the garden path. (Does it have a hole in it ?)
Bean poles. (Must have strong stems.)
Onion bed. (Fancy going to bed with Onions?)
White Pinks.
Any more ? Its Denis’s fault.
