    Default What colour is your watering can?

    The Feng Shui thread reminded me of something my landscape gardener aquaintance told me in the Spring. Before taking on a new job he always inspects not only the prospective customer's garden but also their gardening equipment. In particular, he checks out the colour of their watering can.

    What colour is your watering can?

    I'll let you know what it tells him about you once we have some votes.

    Good grief, just when I thought Crayola had run out of subject matter


    I don't have a watering can. Would you like to know about my very big hose?

    Mine's green. I always thought it was a marketing thing - if it's green, it's more likely to get lost in the shrubbery, prompting you to think "Where did I put that bloomin' thing?" and buy another, which after a while gets lost in the shrubbery ...
    I know it sounds like a sad conspiracy theory, but when I was a kid potato peelers were the same colour as potatoes, for that very same reason (or at least this is what my Mum said after losing her umpteenth one in the tattie peelings that got tossed out).
    I'm off to lie down.

    I thought Green was for watering/feeding plants while red was for weedkiller - then the two wouldn't get mixed up.

    Green for go, red for stop ....??

    Henry20 has just doubled the sale of red and green watering cans lol.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    Roll on winter when we can expect a new season of opinion polls by Crayola. No subject is too trivial, no object ignored.

    Polls to look forward to include:

    What colour is your favourite cup?
    How many cupboards in your kitchen?
    How many pairs of shoes do you own?
    Sweetener or Sugar-YOU decide?

    ....and the season's highlight:

    Girls-towels or tampons?

    I think the Next Poll should be to decide what the best Poll has been on the Org and or to decide if there should be any further Polls.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    No doubt we will get something along these lines (From beliefnet.com):-

    "Every colour affects ch'i energy differently, and because of this colours are believed to be related to yin/yang and the five elements. Color can be used to maintain, calm and enhance a specific ch'i energy. Red, for example, is the most yang colour and is linked with fire energy and the ch'i energy of the west.

    Colours also have symbolic meanings. Red is associated with romance, wealth, and happiness. Three good reasons why the Chinese choose red for doors and entrance arches."
    .................................................. ..............................................

    However, I believe there is a simpler explanation courtesy of our own favourite Big Yin from China, ie Confucius:-

    "Confucius, he say man with red watering can, have red watering can because red watering can £3.99 and blue watering can £6.99"

    "Confucius, he say woman with green watering can, have green watering can because Homebase not sell any other colour watering can"

    Chi whizz!!
