I must be doing something wrong. My gardening is never like this. I'm sure Monty Don hasn't mentioned it, or maybe I just missed that episode.
Do you mean you never look this good in the garden, or your garden gnomes are a bit more conventional....? Anyway, shocking behaviours-that trowel has not been cleaned since the last time she used it..
More like, I just never meet anyone like this in my garden. I'd have hoped they would pop out from behind a shrub or something. If they did, I'd probably overlook the dirty trowel. Probably.
