...have you sown your seeds?

[Michael Palaeologus]

I may get the dibber out tomorrow. It has been in storage all winter and so will need some some deep cleansing and a jolly good buffing. When in full fettle my dibber is quite the thing.

Many thanks for sharing your seed with me Mucky. I believe many in ED have reason to be similarly grateful. Your generosity in these areas ensures that you have the reputation that you richly deserve.

But how could you let it get in such a state in the first place? I am rather horrified...deep cleansing? A jolly good buffing?

It can easily happen to your dibber when you're single.

Surely the dirtier the dibber, the greater the coudos? To be worn as a badge of honour? A mark of experience in the world of hole making? In a similar way, in my days in archaeology, experience was shown through the size of one's trowel. My 4 incher was hardly blunted, compared to the size of the one owned by the hardened archaeologist, with his stumpy little tool barely an inch long. Respect!

[Michael Palaeologus]

A dirty dibber can transfer germs without proper deep cleansing. Clearly in the swinging world of archaeology such things are not concidered important.

That happens with motorcyclists too - the easier the rider, the smaller the helmet.

Thank you for the seeds LadyM, they have now been spread and sown, wide and far. ;)

ROFLMAO, Swagger. We should be leaving that sort of muckiness to Brum and Michael.

I picked up some free seed on Lordship Lane this very afternoon. Shameless.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Tsk - being given away outside the lentil weaving shop.

A man with no morals I'd say.

Ah, I see that you know Mr. Pallywotsitoos, Swagger.

A splendid shot if I may say so.

[Ladymuck]

Yes, I can see how that might happen...ahem...

I'm having awful trouble with my gout weed. I think I need a new dutch hoe.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just make sure you pass the dutch hoe on the left hand side.

Well, we appear to have gone from seeds...to bush...and now weed...

Turning out to be a proper gardener's thread...oh and there was the mention of a Dutch hoe too...and not forgetting the star of the show - Michael Pallywotsitpoo's unclean and unbuffed dibber...

[RosieH]

Weed? Anyone got some? Pop round.

[Ladymuck]

Actually, I'm a little busy at the moment, but please feel free to pass by me and help yourself...I'd be delighted to share some with you.http://localfoodsandusky.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/dandelions_01.jpg

[Michael Palaeologus]

I was talking about Dutch Hoe's last night. All seeds are safely dibbed.

[Ladymuck]

On well done Mr. Pallywotsitoos...I couldn't locate my dibber - had to use my finger...

Should have borrowed yours (dibber - not finger), now that it has been duly cleansed.

[legalbeagle]

Just back from my allotment, having done half the beds. Two more left to do that are very weedy, but my new hoe has done some sterling work. I have now planted beans, squash, courgettes and broccoli.

I must confess I haven't seen a dibber in quite some time. I just use the handle of my trowel.
