Quite a while ago, I bought a neat little tool described as a "Widger." Just a slightly curved piece of stainless steel sort of the size of a largish pen; different widths on the 2 ends; used for pricking out seedlings and transplanting small stuff. The name sounds very British - is it? Previously (and still for very small seedlings), I used a pocket sized flatblade screwdriver. See :- http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/de...english/widger Phil I have quite a few American friends and we disagree all the time about their idea of English and mine. American English is very different from "English" English. "Two nations divided by a common language" (attribution uncertain, but probably not Churchill) Americans think they speak English, I can assure them that they don't. |
