Let's have a laugh.
Urglers,
Having just writ about a tittering of magpies, I thought it about time we all tried to give an amusing collective noun for something to do with gardening. Examples :- the collective noun for weeds; a "backbreaking" of weeds. A "snot" of slugs perhaps! We all know of a "pride" of lions, but what about dandylions? Now you have a go! Regards Geoff |

We all know of a "pride" of lions, but what about dandylions? A "vanity" of dandylions ? Tim |
