You've dug up from - or buried in - your garden? |

When my late parents house was sold it was radically changed. I wonder what the new owners thought when they dug up the patio. |

Have to admit, there are 4 cats, and 2 guinea pigs buried in my last garden - but I did forget to bring the cat 'statue' that sits over them - so they're forewarned! |

I’d forgotten about the pets. |

Well nothing exciting as we are the only people to have lived in this house from new, but the was a lot of builders rubble which we didn't find for a few months as we moved in in December. |

It's a bit presumptuous to assume every strange article found in a garden - be it anywhere, not just London, was 'due to laziness or avoiding disposal costs'. |

So my parents were lazy and tight fisted Londoners. Gee, thanks |

If you want instant negativity and casual put-downs - just wait for RTR to respond! |

Insulting as usual. |

LaGooner - You mean you weren't a 'bygone Londoner', for whom a lack of gardening appears to be acceptable to 'The Man In the High Castle' ? |

I,ve been discussing the approximate size of the patio with my OH. He reckons it was about 80 square yards. About 2 1/2 feet deep. Or huge in other words. |

I am a bygone Londoner and we had a tidy garden with a huge veg patch and lovely flowers and we didn't get those by being lazy :-D. No fancy bits in it though as food on the table was more important |

I really missed the fruit and veg from the veg patch when I left home. When I eventually got the chance I had a bit of a patch myself. Only a fraction of the size of the one I grew up with. |

I have not got one here thanks to the huge cedar tree on a neighbouring property that blocks the light and leaches all the goodness from the soil. I do have a couple of flowers borders which are away from it which do semi ok. I grow a few veg in tubs and herbs for cooking. Oh for a decent garden :-( |

Oh for a decent garden, a strong back and decent knees :-D |

:-D :-D :-D I'll second that . New knees aren't all they are cracked up to be in my case though :-D :-D |
