If you were my neighbor, Michael, I would bring over one of Henry Mitchell's books on gardening. Might be "Essential Earthman" or "One Man's Garden". Anyway, there's a chapter about gifts for gardeners. You'd love it. Bag of manure, a roll of really good twine, stuff like that.
I'll have to find the book and take a look see.

If you're one of the few remaining Americans with a library card, go find his books. I think you'd really enjoy them. He was the garden writer for the Washington Post. Each chapter is one of his newspaper columns, so they're quick. But, the man was a friggin' genius.
I do have a library card with a local branch a few blocks from here. I'm going to see if they have them. I spend most of my book $ on cookbooks, biographies and good fiction. I've relied on my Missouri Botanical Garden membership for most of my gardening advice and ideas. Thanks... I think it is time to branch out 😉

Henry Mitchell's books fit none of the categories you mentioned. I kid you not - you will love his books. If I'm wrong, cybertwat will give you $1000.00.
These made my day 😉 What did you feed them for dinner tonight?

I'll take labor (I need a yard slave) in trade for the $1000, thank you 😉

OK. But, get the books. If nothing else, you'll love his writing.

We had fried pork chops. Of course they only got to share one, naturally they got their Meow Mix.
Jilly and several of your other kitties have some fans here in Chicago, pix of them are on my screensaver slide show and when I have guests over they always exclaim over them. So thanks for the pix...

Getting up at 6 am (I'm always on time 🙂 ) and finding a hot cup of Earl Grey Green tea in front of my computer. ......Sharon
Hmm, fondling your PC is the first thing on your mind each morning... no wonder marriage is doomed. All gals are the same... all they ever think of is their bladder, they spend twelve hours each day empting and the other twelve hours refilling. About once a month a gal will do their mate a favor but first they need about an hour's tune-up... and than just at that moment they all gotta go pee... twenty minutes later thay return expecting to find a guy just as they left him. How can it take twenty minutes to pee... easy when yoose sit on the throne till your legs fall asleep, and now twiddling your Blackberry.
