Re: Are you gifted?
I think my gift is the gab. I made a fab telemarketer and could have soldoil to the Arabs. Otherwise I am just like everyone else. You have things you can do and others you cant. I can run and always been fit that way and have always done so but cannot do plumbing, I can remember general knowledge but cant remember where I have put some article in the house where I put it for safekeeping. It becomes so safe that even a burglar wouldn't be able to find it.

They will find out for themselves sooner or later.

You certainly are good at making something out of something... from looking at your photos

Re: Are you gifted?
I never truly thought I'd ever have any kind of gift but I actually seem to have two.I'm employed as a Maintenance Man / Gardener at a Care Home and although I do have a wealth of experience in gardening, there were many things that I'd never tried because, basically, I'd never needed to!
Everything that I've tried from roots cuttings, leaf cuttings to straight-forward divisions, where success was often quoted as minimal, has worked and I guessed at most of it because of time constraints.
I have propagated many, many plants in two years to the point where had I bought new plants instead, it would have cost an absolute fortune.
I have been amazed that my casual approach has been rewarded so well.
Maybe that's not quite the gift that I think I have but my questions to other gardeners indicate that my successes are NOT the norm, so is that a gift?
My second "gift" seems to be premonitions or foresight, and, as I know that most while be sceptical, I'll not go further on that except to say that I've often "anticipated" things that are not related specifically to my employment tasks and fore-warned my employer about such things, which were then addressed beforehand and proved to be correct, thereby saving money and problems before they have actually arisen.
This includes a main water pump that I "felt" was not functioning correctly, although all indications were that it was fine - it packed-up an hour after the experts checked it!
Do I have a gift? stevmk2
