Rating : 12
Characters : Jenny/Nick

Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for [livejournal.com profile] reggietate as her team fest prize for this pairing and the prompt autumn gardening.

Jenny stared around her at a scene of complete chaos.

Leaves and branches were strewn everywhere, roses had been hacked at haphazardly but the weeds still appeared to be triumphant.

“What do you call this?” she demanded.

“Gardening?” Nick offered, plonking himself down on an up-ended bucket.

“Making a bloody mess!” she countered, rolling up her sleeves and grabbing the secateurs.

“Never took you for the gardening sort,” he commented as she started pruning.

Jenny sighed. “You haven’t met my mother, have you? She’s been in love with Alan Titchmarsh for longer than I care to remember. Now start sweeping!”

I'm not good at taking care of flower, plants or ... any green stuff so I can understand poor Cutter here ^_^

To be honest, that's probably what my attempts at gardening would look like! If I had a garden and could stop being lazy long enough to tend to it! *g*

And what is it with mothers and Alan Titchmarsh, hmmmmm?

Nice one.

My own mother's Aussie version of an Alan Titchmarsh is Peter Cundell and my mother has the greenest of thumbs - I totally relate

Although it is a perfect description of my garden :)

I'm going to guess that Titchmarsh has a gardening show (the UK version of The Victory Garden?)

terrific title pun, and a fun read.

some might think Nick's approach to gardening paralels his life. :)


edit: though one doesn't need to be a gardener, Nick, to know a mess when they see it.
