Latest flog is skip-skip-skip-skip... I can't take the bleeping lectures, the 'poor me' and the 'tell us a story jackanory'!
Too bad our Tattle group watches her circus performance on InvidiousShe rambles ALOT in the latest flog, just time filling nontent for that extra adsense
It's her fantasy to have a man to cook for her, like Josie has ;-)The poor man gets any rest with doing everything around the house. Cinderella's probably too exhausted to focus .
Lol exactly, I must admit my hubby is easily distracted by colour and movement BUT he knows this himself and sets said timer.It’s categorically lack of concentration. He is easily distracted so once he leaves the room his focus is on something else. Maybe someone will advise him to ask The Missus to set her phone on a timer for him or maybe some company might send him a free timer for every room and the shed. It’s all gone quiet on the shedding front hasn’t it? She probably banned him whilst she fills it with wrong tables.
When he bought her the burnt croissant I was surprised she didnt say something critical. Maybe neither of them can smell.Ali burns food and Lydiot burns bridges.
......and foliage is singular, Lidl!How are any of her sycophant followers believing this phoney gardening crusade she is on, she is living in fantasy land, a make believe world. Who does she think she is a member of the horticultural society. This woman doesn't know tit from clay about gardening, she can't even tell the difference between an avocado and an artichoke, that says it all right there. Everything she touches turns to tit, her lemon trees are dead, orange trees are no more, everything that was in her greenhouse has been of whitewash of neglect and zero care factor and she has the audacity to preach about anything let alone all things gardening and act like some guru on plant life and how schools should implement a system to educate children on growing veg when proffessionals and genuine, bona fide people of school communities have already made progress and head way establishing kitchen gardens in schools a long time ago. Just another stunt from her to virtue signal like she is some do gooder or pillar of the community, when the truth is she doesnt give a rats. The only thing I ever really see her eat from her garden is "basically" and "obvioulsy" carrots and the odd courgette she "harvested" from her "kitchen garden". Can she not just say she picked something from her garden.
And there she goes using that word 'exceptional' again. I am doing a lot of eyerolling lately.
She just doesnt care. Easily replaced if need be.
I think you might be right. I have no idea about Bay trees or living in a cold place, so I did some googling and -That's not frost damage, that's lack of watering. And why are all the pots in apple boxes? She doesn't have apples so doesn't need to store them. They will just rot with damp pots of sweet peas in them!
It’s her complete laziness that lets her plants die. It’s too much effort to even water them (when no camera is switched on). She’s had all these irrigation systems put in yet things still die because she cannot commit to keeping anything alive. It’s the same indoors - plants need light as well as water so her putting them in dark corners or in dark rooms secures the death sentences she is clearly immune to. It’s all because she’s lazy and won’t stop scrolling through her phone long enough to engage in what’s going on around her. Her devotion is to scrolling - not gardening. She’s never been interested in gardening because she’s never learned how to keep anything alive. It’s all too much effort! Witness her ‘back-breaking’ work of planting under 100 tulip bulbs! Utter nonsense…She can’t look after anything consistently. Not even her own hair. Never stops her droning on and on and on about it though. Same as she flexes her greenhouse and drones on about gardening. Everything dies. Hasn’t she noticed that? All the plants and trees regardless of cost die through avoidable neglect. Neglect is the consistent theme. She neglects her mother, her friends, her garden, her clients, her subs, the list is endless. The plants and trees are perfect metaphors for how she rolls.2 orange and 2 bay trees dying, how is it possible, it doesn t take much to look after them? Elsie keeps bleating on about how much she loves gardening but can t be bothered with looking after her plants. It s all so gloomy, she s like the grim reaper of plants. ☠
I have a large bay in a pot and there is no sign of frost damage. In fact my sister has a huge bay tree growing in her garden in Devon (admittedly milder than Hampshire).She just doesnt care. Easily replaced if need be.

I think you might be right. I have no idea about Bay trees or living in a cold place, so I did some googling and -
"Bay trees are hardy down to 20 °F (-6 °C), but once temperatures drop below this, they can start to struggle. Their ideal range is 40-60 °F ( 4-15°C) or higher. Since they are evergreen perennials, if you live in a colder region you’re going to want to bring them indoors during the winter if you can.
Cold damage on bay trees often takes the form of cracked or peeling bark. Typically, this will get better on its own as temperatures warm up. If it doesn’t improve, and the parts of the tree above it are dying, you may want to cut back the dying parts to give the tree time to heal.
To prevent the bay tree from getting damaged by cold, don’t take it outside until temperatures are consistently above 20 °F (-6 °C). And make sure you bring it back inside when temperatures start to drop again."
She had 2 beautiful Bays that would have cost a bit surely she would think to drag them into the fecking greedhouse. Why does she have a greedhouse if not for this reason.
She doesn't respect anything because she can just buy another or shame Nicholsons into replacing plants.It’s her complete laziness that lets her plants die.

This really is what annoys me the most about her. I don't care what she wears or what she looks like or surgery she has done what annoys me about her is just her complete lack of respect for anything. The waste, the rubbish she creates, her carbon footprint much be enormous.I have a large bay in a pot and there is no sign of frost damage. In fact my sister has a huge bay tree growing in her garden in Devon (admittedly milder than Hampshire).
Mine is too big to go in the greenhouse.
What generally kills plants is a combination of cold AND wet. If it was very cold she could have brought the bay trees into the kitchen if the Greedhouse was full, or bubble wrapped them on the very frosty nights.

As for the "backbreaking" comment....she has no idea what that is!
Lydiot you're a head
Ps that's my type of man
Her shadow makes her look like something from a horror movie ‘The Greenhouse Killer’How are any of her sycophant followers believing this phoney gardening crusade she is on, she is living in fantasy land, a make believe world. Who does she think she is a member of the horticultural society.
