Best Lakeside Gardener

A weekly competition for the best and original story from a local gardener,

(even if only about growing tomatoes).

Take off, eh!

Ah, the "Pissed Newt" whispers again.

OK OK, Here is one I wanted a garden and my yard was too nice and not a whole lot of space. Did not want anything big anyway, since I did not use my parking area the grass inside the concrete where your car was supposed to go is where garlic and herbs went right by the kitchen....

Oh my stars and whiskers: THIS is what the Octagon is coming to?

I believe the OP was eluding to rumors and tall tales that ones gardener might share with them about events in the area.

I had originally moved this to the Mirador until I realized this was tongue in cheek.

One's "Mexican physical therapist" is reputed to be an even more reliable source than the gardener. Hands on, y'know.

and do all their stories have "a happy ending"..........

I thought yesterday's gardener story was the best for the day.

That narcos were stopping traffic asking for money, haha that's hilarious!!! Guess we can just keep the window rolled up and shake the finger if not interested.

That was a good one, but I am also interested if any ones gardener is rumoured to be growing tomatoes, Lakeside.

Ohhhhh...well, this gardener has a couple hanging baskets of the saddest tomatoes I've ever laid eyes on. I read somewhere, believe it was from the lakeside garden club?, who wrote to forget about growing tomatoes here. I think our problem is the basket is too shallow?

This gardener is also peeved at her master gardener right now who dumped compost on her lawn. We have dogs and the terraza is a filthy mess as well as the furniture that for some reason the dogs have just decided to jump on with muddy paws!!! UGH!!! The inside dog, white in color, has been bathed 2 days in a row now. I believe the thinking was that the compost would encourage lawn growth. Have a lawn arbon? Ours was gorgeous until it started to rain. Now it is not so pretty :(

I should think the tallest tales would come from the fishermen... "It was THIS BIGGGG and the line broke!" Lizzy
