John's garden tools

Hasn't John been busy!

While I've been dealing in shades of pink, He's started from scratch to model the contents of his Bag End garden.

Using scraps of lolly sticks, Champers corks and a pile of horse muck left in the road, he's created a lichen covered staddle stone, a post box, a garden roller, a bench for blowing smoke rings from and an old wooden wheel barrow.

(I remember them well. You could put your back out getting those legs off the ground and that was when it was running on empty!)

 I understand John is aiming to vary the contents of the barrow, replacing the muck (or is that leaves, John?) with vegetables from Gaffer Gamgee's garden.

As I type, he is planting seed for miniature lettuce, cabbages and carrots.
