Are you a professional gardener, TopBanana?

Yes- have been since college. Superviser these days, to be exact. Wave

Cool! Must beat working in an office.

Do you know many *sniggers* uphill gardeners?!

Sometimes you can have flowers in with your veg, it's called Companion Planting.

Oooh, interesting!

Nice plants, Topbanana!

I think I have the same arch thingy as in the first pic, I have a rose and a big purple flower growing up it.

They were a great band.

No, but I've got to grips with a few hoes in my time.

Damn, TB. You got your gardening going on! Cool

:)

It's messy, I know. But, I like the mess.

I'm a lazy gardener at home and on the plot- I don't know how people can have gardens/plots with no weeds or mess. If I was retired I would, mind. At work it's different.....I'm PAID to be a tidy gardener!

Who do you garden for?

I work on an historic property for the National Trust. I work mainly in propagation.

Oooh, fancy!

Not really! It's just sowing and watering and taking cuttings! But at least I get to tell others what to do :)

Fun!

Does a rich lady own the house and encourage you to garden topless while she sips wine on the veranda?

Or have I been reading Jilly Cooper again...

Not quite, zooo...... :D

When I was a gardener I never did any of the fun stuff. Just weeding, grass cutting and hedge-cutting. Now though I get to tend to my plants like Mr Miyagi.

Today's harvest:
