Crunchmainia’s Top Ten Christmas Gifts For Gardeners
Christmas seems to get here quicker each year and so this year I decided I would share my lists. Oh yes I am a list writer and proud of it. Each list I write on the ever quick run up to Christmas get more and more complicated. I am a total non-started in the organization stakes, but I write a great list. These gifts are ones I found whilst looking for something for my garden obsessed husband this year. Whilst in the summer I might be a garden widow in the winter he mops about the house during the limited hours of sunlight longing for the fiordd that is our back garden. In the autumn he dugover and prepared the bottom of the garden; cutting down hedges, sifting soil whilst avoiding buried beloved pets and created the wastland that is our future veg-patch. To be fair we do already have a health crop of onions and garlic grown, but still I would have liked the bathroom decorated. Okay so my husband isn’t the easiest person to buy Christmas presents for his taste in music is limited to 70’s stadium rock, he hates being given clothes for Christmas and his taste in films picky to say the least. Oh and did I mention he has a beard so aftershave is out too. So these are the top ten gardening gift I’ve found for my hunter gatherer, kill the wilderbeast hubby.
