Re: The gardening thread

Ooh, it wasn't supposed to rain till 3pm, and it came on at 2.15, while I was still on the last lawn.

I got soaked, and I had to get inside the shed to oil the mower afterwards.

Mind you, it was quite cosy in there watching the rain fall on the garden.

About to do my lawn.

It's the first time I've been able to do it since early April.

It looks like a jungle.

There might be tigers in it.

That emoticon is barely even recognisable as a tiger.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I wonder what the lion's like?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

[The Call of the Wendigo]

That's much more recognisable.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

But I'm not likely to have lions in my garden.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The tigers have probably killed them all.

I have sold my gardens, and my lawns, and my shed, and my lawn mower, and my can of 3-in-1.

In other news, I've now tamed the lawn.

There were no tigers.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Either that or I ran them over with my lawnmower and killed them.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

There was also no excrement. Last year, I could barely move on my lawns for animal excrement.

It was like living in the middle of a sewage works.

[Fangirl Three]

Yes, I used to have that problem too. If it wasn't cats it was foxes.

I had to carefully roam the lawns with a shovel before cutting the grass.

I just mow over them.

They're usually fairly small, and in the current heat they dry up to a crisp.

I'm sure the green bin collectors don't mind.

I've just realised that "Mow" is a very strange word. It's suddenly struck me that it looks like it should be pronounced to rhyme with "wow" and "cow" but it isn't.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Now I can't unsee it.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

For the rest of my life, in my head, that's how I'm going to be pronouncing it.
