Three are old, i.e. over 60 years, the treadle is 100 years old.<br /><br />When I go to retreat about an hour and a half away, I take two or three with me.

There was one woman who I did not load a machine to - she brought a brand new machine that she had never used and proceeded to abuse it.<br /><br />HelenChurn Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060909536864106475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-72392680441043889072017-12-13T10:16:39.704+00:002017-12-13T10:16:39.704+00:00We have lots and lots of buckets for weeding and w...We have lots and lots of buckets for weeding and water...

You can never have enough sheds either.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-32018309656292945142017-12-13T09:18:41.407+00:002017-12-13T09:18:41.407+00:00In my little garden watering cans, I have 3, 2 I k...In my little garden watering cans, I have 3, 2 I keep in the greenhouse full with water.
