I don't know if Shelly would like me as a neighbour though.<br /><br />I will check out The Good Life. I don't know if I've seen it or not.<br /><br />Rebecca, you do NOT want to spend that much $ on a dumb old basket. Give it to me and I will buy a nice bottle of scotch and fashion you one out of old limbs of something. It will look pretty much the same and I assure you it will perform much the same.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-82744918518699669942010-07-08T20:48:30.331-07:002010-07-08T20:48:30.331-07:00I want to spend $95 on a basket.

You would have to get creative with the garden space though, since most of the backyard is pool and deck.<br /><br />Have you ever seen The Good Life?? I think you would love it! It's an old British comedy about a couple who quit work and live off the grid on their small neighbourhood property. It's very funny!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844057739575974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-1383867408218395392010-07-08T18:25:32.793-07:002010-07-08T18:25:32.793-07:00Rebecca, I vote you make yourself a trug.

Honestly, do you really need to spend $95 on a basket?<br /><br />Heather, I was thinking about you today as I used my skirt to carry peas. Thankfully our garden is private enough for me and my skirt to do such a thing. I too tend to get very grubby. My hair especially: now that it's short it's hard to clip back so it gets the Brush With Wet Muddy Hand routine.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-65628606463491598272010-07-08T16:44:59.533-07:002010-07-08T16:44:59.533-07:00Mankbobl.

Just google "Sussex Trugs" and you get all sorts of links for independent English trug makers. <br /><br />I've wanted one since 1996 and I likely should have indulged at the time as there was a garden shop on 4th street that carried them. I think I've likely waited long enough. Maybe Santa will oblige...<br /><br />Or cater to my whim. As is my word: cater. (huh??? what fun is that? I demand a recount!)ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180832647715611790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-23398503317860900672010-07-08T14:18:25.279-07:002010-07-08T14:18:25.279-07:00Your basket of goodies looks great!

Surely no one Really gardens in such nice, tidy get-ups as you see on the cover of magazines (although I do notice that I manage to get waaaay grubbier than the other gardener at work so maybe some people can manage to stay clean??).<br /> <br />I have a special basket that I use for gathering herbs now as well as my garden basket - they really Do work so well for this purpose (much better than my old pull-up-the-bottom-of-my-shirt-and-see-how-much-veg-can-fit-in-there trick I used to use -KWIM?).<br /><br />I just got home with a whack more zucchini (collected shirt style as no basket at town garden) and our first beets of the year. Can't wait for dinner!<br /><br />OK, my word is mankbobl. That just sort of speaks for itself, doesn't it?

In turn I would tell you how wonderful and creative your garden stepping stones are.<br /><br />Rebecca, what is a trug? I am mystified.
