Bay Trees

The one bay tree became three, because two members of the family then bought me baby bay trees as birthday presents. Your grumbling technique must be superior to mine. I've tried leaving seed & plant catalogues about filled with bookmarks and red pen, giving other people's names and addresses to the catalogue people, and talking endlessly about plants, and what do they say? They say : 'Ooo, I never know what to get you!'. Bah! (waves hand dismissively in the manner of Dogbert). I think I got a bit obsessive about propagating bays and they were at their wits ends to shut me up! Way back in '87 a friend came to dinner, bearing not a bottle of wine, nor flowers, but a trailer of well rotted FYM. I enthused about this for ages hoping others would take the hint. I discovered the hard way that if you ask hubby for something see-through you can slip into he never thinks of a greenhouse ;-(. So subtlety isn't the answer - we need T-Shirts bearing a variation of 'If in doubt buy me the biggest blue plant pot you can afford!' On second thoughts make that a sweatshirt - then I can wear it in the cooler weather just before Christmas. JillT -- |
