I note from the comments in the previous post that a few of you have been watching Gardener's World, which reminded me: We need to organise who's going to host the
2021 I N F O M A N I A C Garden Photos Event!
Now, as The Very Mistress has graciously retired from organising and overseeing the event, it falls to one of us Infomaniac Bitches to be the HOstess with the MOstess. As you may recall, I was the fortunate HOMO last year - for the 10th anniversary (and a jolly good time I had doing it, too!) - but, does someone else want to have a go this year?
How and when it takes place is up to you (although it must be some time this year - preferably later in the year so we all have time to tend to our unruly bushes and the like), and you must remember the cardinal rule: The Garden Photos Event is NOT a competition!
If there are no takers, then I will be happy to take up the hoe again. And when the hoe looks like the Head Gardener there on the right (on loan from the Extensive Gardens of Delores Delargo Towers), who can blame me?!
Right. Let the squabbling commence!
🌻
What a talented lad. I hope you make good use of him while he is in your stead. He has much to offer and I am sure, once fed and properly libated (gin, perhaps?) he will indeed succumb to the charms of your 'garden'. Weaker men have fallen for far less... just ask Adam. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteWell, who wouldn't be tempted by Eddie's serpent and his two apples. Adam didn't stand a chance!
DeleteSweetie, darling - I'm far too busy with our Head Gardener and all his hard, hard, hard hoeing to host an event of such magnitude! You did it so well last year... Jx
ReplyDeletePS why's The Very Mistress retiring from all this shenanigans, anyhow? It was her invention, after all!
You are a martyr to your grounds, Jon. Why, you work your fingers to the bone - or, to someone's bone, anyway.
DeleteAs for The Very Mistress, the words "lazy" and "baggage" spring to mind.
Ahem. I'm in the room, you know.
DeleteOh. Um. Beast made me say it! He used his insidious mind powers to insert those words into my brain, and before I knew it-
DeleteYes, I realise how preposterous that sounds. I mean, really. Beast?
Unless...?
Wow, what a great event! I cannot host, I'm "like a virgin" next to you lot being so new to the crew and all your naughty blogs. It really is my loss for not coming around to visit you all sooner before my pompous ass decide to make a prim and proper blog with a purpose. Had I come sooner, it would have been an entirely different beast, but alas, I'm late to everything. Maybe my alter ego ProximaBlue will come back and make a naughty blog, but she and I need to get our shit together and get some god damn stories published!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, back to garden photos. I would like to submit, but not dominate in this particular act this year. Thank you. About that gardener...does he play a Pan flute, I wonder?
He can certainly play a meat flute!
DeleteAnyway, yes, garden photos. We would love to rummage through your undergrowth, so start taking some photos for whoever may be the host later in the year.
Looks like you've got things, well in hand.
ReplyDeleteNot without some difficulty, I must say. He's quite a handful!
DeleteI can't host it because I have a very difficult decision to make regarding my back fence, should I grow ivy up it, thus creating a green wall and to save on creosoting the damn thing and if so, do I choose the variegated ivy or the common green variety, I'm leaning towards the variegated but I'm afraid I won't be able to come to a decision until after the garden photo event.
ReplyDeleteOh, how inconvenient, Mitzi. Still, with a decision as important and world changing as that, I certainly sympathise and utterly understand. There's no way we could expect you to take on this task with something like "ivy vs no ivy", and then "variegated vs common green"* to contend with. It's too much for one person to bear alone. Too much!
Delete* Variegated, definitely.
I am looking forward to the event much.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime can we have our Gardener back. I have need of him
* tut *
Delete* sigh *
Oh, must you? Really?!?
* huff *
Very well, then. Take him.
Besides, I'm not getting a thing done with him around, anyway...
Of course I would volunteer to host but you would all laugh.
ReplyDeleteWell, we could all do with some amusement in these difficult times...
Delete*shuffles uneasily* I'm too rubbish at gardening to do it! I think it should stay with those who have a passion for green fingers.
ReplyDeletePlus, I have the green, highly flammable item to sort out. Don't ask me how I know it's highly flammable - let's just say it's best to keep friction between the thighs minimal when wearing the FGES.
Sx
Perhaps it's best that you stole them off Beast when you did, Ms Scarlet. One step in them and he'd have gone up like a frozen turkey in a deep fat fryer!
DeleteDarling, I can't imagine any one doing a better job than you, so it looks like you're stuck with it.
ReplyDeleteDrat! I mean, why thank you!
DeleteActually, I would love to host it again (I already have an idea for a warm-up event in the vein of last year's "Terrifying Triffidery"), but I don't want to rob anyone else of the chance to have a go. Maddie and Dinah (to name but two) have yet to appear, so we'll see.
Yum!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that gif from ..But I'm a Cheerleader? He could come hoe me any time. And what was that about gardening?
XOXO
I have no idea what it's from, but it's my favourite TV show/film whatever it is!
DeleteOh, and hello and welcome, Sixpence! I've just come from yours - I hope you'll enter some photos of your terrariums in this year's Garden Photos Event?
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteYes, it's Eddie Cibrian. He was the eye candy that kept RuPaul thirsty. And thanks for the comment! I'll have to take some good pics then when the Garden Photos even rolls along!
XOXO
Eddie first came to my attention in Ugly Betty. Tragically, I haven't seen him in anything else (apart from this gif) ever since. I shall have to remedy that.
DeleteI was reeeeeally tempted to put a mouse on your sideboard, but I'd have been genuinely sad if that would've made you upset. So I kept him at my place. I once got to play a D&D set with a beautiful white rat with reddish-brown eyes as my familiar. He was a pet of one of the guys in the group.
ReplyDeleteThe invasion of giant things on my sideboard (be they old ladies, PINK!, narrowboats on the moon, green apartment blocks, or mice) doesn't upset me. I just like to blow things out of all proportion (a bit like the sideboard images) and overdramatise things now and again.
DeleteAs long as you're happy to be the Host with the Most, I'll try to keep my shrubbery neatly weeded and not like some overgrown bushes, which I shant mention...
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
How gracious of you, Dinah. I'm sure a certain someone is relieved at your discretion.
