Alis girls Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 '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.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 My husband strimmed a frog a few years ago, he is still traumatised. 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 .

iar fach goch Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
