beware ....... never mind these night-time gardeners you see on the tv ...... night time gardening is dangerous!!!!!!!

just went to the garage to get bread out of freezer...... spotted dead leaf on plant as i passed ........ put hand in to snap off leaf ..... exit one thumb throbbing from a bee sting :shock: :shock: :shock:

moral of story ....... only garden in daylight with gloves on :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Ahh are you ok though? I hope it is not too painful.

    Right never do gardening in the dark unless you have a full body armour on

    Aren't bee stings a therapy for some form/s of arthritis? Did it help, wonky? I'm more frightened of skidding on slugs! DD

    I believe they are but I'm not going to be going for it :shock: after last night the thought of being stung again is too much !!!!

    did it help? ..... well it took my mind off my wrists, shoulders and hip for a few hours :wink: but it did nothing at all for the joints near the sting :roll:
