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. ;-)

Keith

For some reason, when I read this a picture popped into my head from
the book on Prince Charles garden at Highgrove. Anyone remember the
pic of the structure made of roots?

aka The Stumpery, I think They were very popular with Victorians. When the
Duke of Edinburgh saw it, he asked his son when he was going to have the
bonfire. ;-)

I'm with the Duke on that (and especially as I know how well and how
hot, roots burn).

It does have a certain rude charm about it. I do think it would be
well named as a "Snobbery".
