We here at Weeds are always up for anything gardening related found in skips, out on the street or put out for the binmen but sadly had to pass of this treasure trove yesterday.
There was a three pronged garden fork with matching flip-flops (a great idea, co-ordinated gardening/tool wear!) and a pair of well worn deck shoes. We’re well into the keep ’em peeled ethic and all that but you are allowed to say no and keep on walking.
A big thanks to Pete Haigh from the monthly Funkology radio show (alongside Andy Madhatter Holmes on BBC Radio Lancashire’s On The Wire here) for sending in a gardening inspired chart. There’s some brilliant stuff from Hugh Masekela, Frankie Valli, The Leaves, The Seeds and a whole heap more. More on Pete here.
