Truffle's bargain boxes.

Awww, sweet :)))

Get planting Truffle. Have you put those Wallflowers in the borders yet????
Crikey, Tt, you've had more rain than us! I haven't seen grass that green in months around here. Nothing's growing, I've got no grass to cut. And, therefre, no money.(nothing new there then!)

Thanks, Louise :o)

Hi Paul ~
Truffle has been out enjoying lots of dog shows, so he is way behind with his gardening tasks. Conker has been busy with his mower and earned lots of money Lol. This part of my back garden is shady in autumn... you can see the sunlight catching the grass top left of picture...

AWwwwwwwwwwwww Truffle Your Such a Good Boy are`nt u helping Mummy with the watering :)XXXXXXX

Hi Jac ...
sometimes Truffle manages to help without eating the watering can..Lol.

AAAWwwwwwww Bless him :) lol My Summer likes to use the Hose more than the Can :)

Truffle you are a star! Have you been helping Mum dig the holes for the pansies too...?
Big hugs to you and Conker xx

Ah Truffle , you are such a cute little helper , he's going to be a good gardeners mate TT .. xx

Thanks Di and Amy...
Truffle couldn't decide which violas to eat first..Lol.

What a gorgeous little boy-always trying to please you TT :))

He now knows which way up the watering can should be. Lol.

My old Scamper always used to eat the blue pansies and violas T.T! Not sure why, (maybe they taste better?) but I've planted a big pot of blue ones in his memory....:)

When I see blue pansies I shall now think of lovely Scamper :o)

~ what a star Truffle is~I can see he will be a good gardeners assistant!

Growing quickly isnt he ..and so will those plants with such good maintenance .Did Truffle drive you home too ? Hes one smart fella..

Thanks, Arlene ~

Soo sweet you know what to pick you clever Truffle you have a excelent eye for beauty.will you be asking for Conkers advise on where to plant them.:o)

Hello Gee and Morgana ~
Conker has suggested that we plant the pansies and violas in pots alongside the dog run, so that we can enjoy them all winter. Truffle is looking for his trowel right now..Lol...o)

Lovely TT,
Now I not only have Conker working for me on the mowing, but I can find a job for Truffle doing the watering, he certainly looks keen. Retirement here I come Lol.

Lovely photo Tt, with such devoted care, they can't help but thrive:-)

Ahrr how sweet and a good Idea too.

Thanks Bornagain and Morgana ...

Hi Balcony....
Yes, you're right....
Truffle is getting to grips with the watering can..Lol. :o)

WOW!!! That was a very fast reply! I'd hardly got back to my homepage when I saw your reply!

It's great to see how your dogs work with you. I had my kids & now my granddaughter to help me with the watering!

well done Truffles, great choice of plants

Hi Balcony ~
It took me longer to answer your comment on my Rainwater Cuttings blog... only just done that...Lol.

Hello Eileen ~ Thanks...
Truffle says he's pleased you approve of his viola selection..Lol.

He's not chewing, Terra - he's pruning, making room for his pansies.

Thanks for explaining that, Wagger....
Truffle prunes biscuits in exactly the same way..Lol.

Oh I can just picture that, lol.

Well didnt you do well Truffle, you certainly know how to find a Bargain, no wonder you look so pleased with yourself!

Hello Truffle!! What a cutie youn are and looking after Mums plants too....he is beautiful TT!

Thanks, PP and Janey...
Truffle is learning good gardening skills from Conker. x

Lovely dog! What a great name too for a dog. I have a dog called Timmy, he's a Jack Russell cross with a lakeland terrier.

Hi Swampy ~
Jack Russell/Lakeland cross sounds a super mix.... have you paintings or photographs of Timmy?

Truffle is growing into a hadsome lad. He obviously is learning his gardening skills from Conker. The plants look wonderful for £2 a tray.
The conkers are dropping here and I know a young lad down the road who loves me to collect conkers for him!!!

Well done Truffle you will make a great assistant gardener for Conker !!

Hi Linda...
Yes, Truffle got some good bargains..:o)
While waiting in the vet clinic car park yesterday, walnuts kept falling on our heads from a huge tree...Lol.

Hello Sue.....
Nice to hear from you.
Truffle does his best to help with the gardening....Lol. :o)

Truffle has the best teachers!! I’m so sorry I have not been in touch lately I'm sure some of my friends here on GOY must think I’ve got lost or something. I am pleased to say things are now getting back to normal. :0)

Lovely to have you back here :o) xxx

Thanks !xx

Well done Truffle. Glad to see you've got a nose for a bargain !! lol :-)))

Thank you, Sue...
Lovely warm, sunny afternoon today...
Truffle planted his pansies and violas ...
He put them in pots around the dog run, so we'll be able to enjoy them all through the winter. :o)

Not only handsome and clever, but Truffle also has an eye for a bargain!

Hi Pottygardener ~
Bargain prices for plants means there's more money to spend on dog biscuits..Lol.

so cute =D

Hello Floralhead...
Truffle says thank you :o)

Like the name Truffle, lol.

Hello Heron ~
I like the name Heron...Lol.
Yes, all my pets are named after plants or "growing things" ~
Conker the Sheltie, Truffle the Smooth Fox Terrier, and Crocus the budgie..

and there was "Bonsai" the Welsh Terrier who sadly died last year...

I love this pic!!

Truffles knows a bargain when he sees one then...can he come shopping with me?!

Truffle says thank you, Madperth...xxx

Hello Fluff ~
Truffle can show you where to buy the best plants..... and doggie rope toys... and the best doggie biscuits.... and best sounding squeaky toys... :o) Lol.

Oh bless him...bet your watering can is full of toothmarks too!!

How much can he carry? I need a porter when I buy cheese these days!

Can't get to the dairy section again Marie without grabbing a clematis?!!

Marie ~
Truffle will eat the cheese, to save your having to carry it home..

... and, Fluff, he's very good at grabbing ceanothus branches... gets lots of practice in the dog run. Lol.

I'm having to avoid dairy til the wages start to trickle in again! Lol!

Uni. students should be given special Wallace and Gromit grants to buy Wensleydale cheese. :o)

LOL! I prefer chevre!! I'm a fussy student!!

great photo :)

Thank you Grindle..
Truffle enjoys his gardening. :o)

I love him with watering can! He bought a bargain there, please can he come around and help Todd and I find some winter flowering Pansies?

love the pic and truffle he could help me watering our plot

Priceless!
I wish that I could train my cat to WATER plants instead of smelling them and then trying to EAT them! {chuckle}
Great photo!

N2o you just reminded me of when my dog was a pup he used to bite off flowerheads , take a look at me to see if I was watching him & run off with it (hoping I would chase him I guess)....now he just smells them too =D

Good boy Truffle..well done..did'nt take you long to learn the tricks of the trade

Thanks, guys ...
...It's great to have pets in the garden, isn't it. :o)

Hi Deida....
Truffle has been looking at a lot of GoY lately....
...picking up tips on watering, weeding, digging, ...Lol.

He can have a staycation at my place any time he wants - he can practice as much as he likes. :<)

Look out, Wagger...
Truffle is heading to Buckinghamshire, in a big box with a first class stamp on it...
He's holding a watering can full of rainwater, so please don't tip the parcel on its side.. Lol.

The postman has just rung the bell! I wonder..........................................

...............Woof Woof :o)

a very helpful looking fellow!
Chris - www.GardeningExpress.co.uk

I want to cuddle this georgeous clever dog

Thanks, Pitta...
I've passed on your hug to Truffle. :o)

Hi Pitta! Welcome to GoY!

Hi Madperth...
... Truffle sends hugs to you and to Pitta :o)

Hi Terra! How are the boys today? Havent checked Conkers blog yet! Just in from work!

All okay here thanks Mp...
We're all sleepy..
Talk more tomorrow.x

Sweet dreams! I just read it! Fantastic news!!

Sorry I haven't checked your news on Conker either. This last week I've spent a lot of time on updating my webpages & so I haven't been on here much.

To top it all for some reason tonight our "broadband" connection is slower than "dial up"! It's so desperately slow that I'm almost tearing my hair out! (What little I have left! Lol!)

Hi Balcony...
Nice to hear from you... Conker had more treatment yesterday... news on his blog....
...everything seems to have been slow on my computer these past couple of days.... Truffle definitely isn't slow... running around with his squeaky toys :o)

LOL! He'll never slow down, that one!

Good to hear that Truffles is still running around at top speed!

My broadband speed seems to be back to normal today! I can't understand what happened yesterday. Everything took hours to upload or download - I couldn't make a blog on the council gardeners I had intended doing again. Tonight I can read all my news & write replies as well & I'll still have time to read our people's blogs & catch up on what I've missed lately!

A dog that waters the garden for you! I wish I could have trained Jake to do that...lol! :o)

Sandra xx

Hi Sandra....
Truffle tries his best, but he's a young terrier, and seems to be in trouble quite often.Lol. xxx

perfect

Hi Smalljaw... thanks :o)
