honestly - men they are demons with a strimmer - rename the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and call it "the onion strimmer massacre". With my OH when we moved her he pruned the apple tree in the SPRING - we had 6 apples and its a biggish tree. Last yr I wouldnt let him near it till auutmn and we had a glut and looks the same this year. as i say give him summat electrical and hes a demon

My husband strimmed a frog a few years ago, he is still traumatised.

What, the husband or the frog?

My husband is a bit of a demon with the strimmer we have a few missing or small regrown potato plants near the grass path on the allotment

'Tis a "man thing" and goes hand in hand with taking over the remote control and the barbeque. FIL upsets the dragon-in-law by running over the pinks with the mower. OH has inherited those genes and mowed: penstemons, geums, lavender, hebes, I could go on, but I think we are limited to how many letters can be used.

I plunged a garden fork into my veg patch recently and when I brought it up, there was a frog impaled on the tines . The worst bit was trying to get it off .

The devil on my shoulder keeps coming up with all sorts of funny responses but I have managed to supress it...just

[Alis girls]

Please no more frog stories i nearly croaked laughing on my nutella on toast. Thing of horror stories I think

[Alis girls]

me again = i cant cope with the forum when i start off in one subject and find myself in gardening section - very confusing first thing in the morning

[Chucky Mama]

I suppose there a worse placed to find yourself in the morning

Confused me too nochucksyet, went to sleep all cosy in the nesting box and woke up in the vegetable patch! Anyhow, now that I'm amongst experts, what do you think is the best thing to do with my onions? Should I lift them and bin them now and use the space to plant something else? Or is there a chance that they will survive? Most of them have about an inch of green growth left at the top. I am new to this and was ever so proud of my onions, totally devastated with the massacre that occured last night!

I did the spear a toad thing too - it was not nice - I abandoned it to the OH to disentangle it and dispose of the poor thing.

Am pleased to report that my onions are growing again so hopefully they will make it!

[Lesley]

I'm glad they're still growing - if we have a good summer they should be fine!
