Thanks Mike. Not the most riveting of answers, I’m afraid. But now you know.

Hola punkass bitch back to you. Why can’t I seem to like gardening? It must be so zen. Or something. Like eating cookie dough.

Do you actually have a vegetable garden? I’m just curious.

I never got the cookie dough thing. Gardening and zen I have a handle on.
Katy - I do, but I’m not growing as much as last year. Right now I have two blueberry bushes, blackberries, two pear trees, two rasberry plants, four tomato plants, two peppers, two rhubarb plants and five strawberry. I have grown onions and aubergines and salads, but not this year. Tomatoes have been rubbish this year, not enough late summer sun to push them over the edge. Strawberries and blueberries were great but they are early summer plants. I grow a lot of flowers and other plants, but I’ve probably bored you to tears already.

I love cookie dough! Give me that over gardening any day. You can eat it raw, AND if you cook it, it makes cookies! If you had just lumps of cookie dough, would they be rawies, or uncookies? Who knows? I also love Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream.

Rawies - love it. Freak, though.
