Default Inverted snobbery.... yawn.

Good afternoon all,

What IS this total obsession that many gardeners seem to have with junk?

I'm talking about: old baths and tyres, half rotten roof battens, plastic
bottles and discarded carpet.... then there's the 'Blue Peter' greenhouse?

Does incorporating neatly laid paths and raised beds - (and trying out new
and colourful vegatable varieties make me a gardening snob)?

Well, I'm, not - nor am I made of money...... yet the only crap I can stand
in our garden comes from the local stables - and the veg. grows all the
same.

Have fun whatever. ;-)

Oh dear! Guilty as charged, although to my knowledge, I have never
admitted it here eight or so years of subscribing. No old baths or
tyres but old weighing scales, watering cans, discarded but whole pot
ornaments, shelves, tennis rackets, candles etc etc . Junk by anyone's
standards but I like it
