Dogs, a big one. Considered chicken wire because I can build it cheaply.

Maybe six or eight foot metal tomato stakes and chicken wire, the cheapest way to build a fence and you can do it yourself. Would be easy for just a vege patch. You can attach the wire to the stakes using plastic tie wire (zippy ties).

Yes, something like that I had in mind. Thank you.

I enjoy mowing the lawn and doing the edges. It makes me feel good when I pull into the driveway and it's well manicured and it's good exercise. My husband freaks out when I do it because I wear thongs and have bare legs but it's still too hot for anything else up here.

I've seen a lawnmower blade come off in full flight and cut straight through someones foot ...

don't wear thongs, ten minutes of sweaty feet is better than limping for the rest of your life

I ALWAYS mow the lawns here AND at Mum's place (free fortnightly exercise routine for me)....& I wear thongs.

It's far easier and more comfortable IMO. You just need to be careful and attentive whatever footwear you have on.

Really? I have never, ever owned a pair of thongs. How Bogan! Grin

Even if I did I would never ever wear them when operating a lawnmower!

I also wear shorts and a tank top when mowing the lawns.

Umm...why do you think I mow lawns?

I do a far better job than either of the above.

I cannot abide a quick, roughly mowed lawn. It really upsets me. Call me a perfectionist..I don't mind.

I prefer to think of myself as an avid gardener.

I probably should fess that hubby does all the edges and hedge trimming jobs both here and at mum's place. The equipment he uses kinda scares me. A lawnmower however doesn't scare me for some reason. I guess I liken it to pushing the stroller or supermarket trolley.

Anyway, our neighbours reckon our lawns are missing one thing : black bowling balls lol Tongue

Nef....seriously..are you shocked that I wear shorts, a tank top and thongs for gardening lol?

I'm a tad puzzled here.

Just so you know, I also wear the same type of gear to the beach.

Come to think of it.. it's how I used to go to Uni. No I lie, I also wore jeans..size 10 (back then). Ahhh good times lol.

Anyway....

Lisa, why don't you change your avatar to that one you used at PA for ages....you know that one you said was a photo of you? That'll explain better why you would wear stuff as you describe.

Oh ....ALL my sisters and sister-in-laws are like that.

Needless to say, they're high maintenance. I personally don't want to be like that. That's my decision.

So anyway, sure they earn heaps, refuse to stay home and be mummies..but by God they spend a lot of their after tax $$$ on weekly beauty salon and hair salon appts, then there's the regular tanning sessions, the expensive Myer lotions and creams, the regular gym work outs etc

Well, a few weeks back we had an Easter get together. Everyone was there..cousins etc..you know how over the top we Greeks and Italians are lol.

Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by all these dainty females asking me questions re why my skin was looking supple and tanned ..no wrinkles...and why my hair was looking so healthy yadda yadda yadda. They wanted to know what treatments I was having.

That was when my husband stepped in and fessed the truth. No treatments, nothing. All I was doing was gardening....the exercise and sunshine involved in gardening was doing my health wonders. The fact that I was enjoying it and that it was bringing the neighbourhood closer together through organic produce sharing was making everyone feel happy...positive AND everyone was eating healthier as a result.

And there you have it.

Gardening.

Umm Aussie FYI

1. I'm not interested.

2. Unlike you, I'm married.

3. This is a gardening topic

4. Go stalk somewhere else. Try the lonely Relationships forum.

5. Bye!
