    Imagine Santa was an avid gardener, and this year donned a green suit instead of his trademark red. Of course now that he is wearing green, all of his presents will be garden related.
    :stew1:

    What do you want green Santa to leave under your tree? Have you been a good gardener?

    Santa didwear a green suit until a famous cola brand decided to have him wearing red. I like red!! :-D
    All I want is for all this snow to slowly melt so that we can actually have a Christmas. At the moment it looks as though it's going to be cancelled here. :'(

    I would like a potato harvesting scoop.
    ....he could also leave a little pinch of "the luck 'o the Irish" in a small sandwich bag. I'll need that because I expect to loose a number of plants from the freezing this year otherwise.

    Yes, Santa, I have been a good little gardener. My gardening Christmas presents came early this year (delivered by Santa's favorite elf, my dear husband). I received two 250 gal. rainwater containers and a new garden bed dedicated to garlic. The containers are full and the garlic is up--what more could I ask for? Ho, ho, ho! :setc_083:

    I wish for builders to become more garden friendly.
    I am without a garden in the house where I reside at the moment.

    Dear Santa, I've been good all year. Please let my plants survive this horrible barefrost. For myself I'd like a little pond. :D

    For Christmas, I'd like for all of the plants to survive! And a big ol' pile of mulch would be nice too.
    And, oh yeah... how about a truck-load of rocks for borders? And while you're at it.... oh never mind... I could go on and on! :D

    KK Ng....I would gladly send you some snow but I don't want it back. We had over 12 inches this past weekend. While it is beautiful to look at, it is hard on you go clean up....especially when rain came the day before.
    .
    My wish for Christmas is to not loose any plants due to rabbits and critters or the bitter cold weather....

    I would like Green Santa to give me a mild winter this year. I'd love to see Crocus blooms in January...
    Then, can I please have some strong, quick workers to extend my shrub border, and bring in rocks, mulch and shrubs! Is that too much to ask? I have been good this year!

    I would like to have minions....A minion is a follower devoted to serving his master relentlessly. I have kids, grandkids and a hubby but none of them will become my minion. A couple of them would be good, one for yard work and one for housework.
    And a truck load of compost would be great too.

    I want a pond, and gift certificates to all the local nurseries, and a tiller, and a rain barrel, and a real compost bin, and lots of compost, and a wheelbarrow, and my strawberry/blueberry/other berry plants to make it through winter and make lots of berries!
