    .... don't think that just you have planted out good, big, healthy plants that you won't have to them back in their pots a week later, having had their leaves and stems decimated.

    Mental note to self - wait until the new plants are twice as a big as you think they need to be, before planting in the ground.

    Don't poke every little bit of any plant in a pot - they grow!

    Eldest daughter trained as a florist (now a school secretary and does flower arrangements for the school - it's a bit posh) left all her carnation trimmings on my garden table beginning of last year and I ended up with 7 plants.

    Trimmed them back last autumn and now I have nearly 2 dozen eeek

    The seed packet may say sow by 2014, but do not assume this means 90% of the seeds will be dead. I swear every single one sprouted. I don't like tomatoes that much.

    tomato seeds can pass the human digestive system, and sewage treatment and still germinate on river banks

    Dont forget to check up the sleeves for paper hankies before you wash a load of dark coloured washing especially when you don't have a tumble dryer.

    We wouldn't have to put hankies up our sleeves if they made women's clothes with pockets!!!

    Although a tissue in a pocket can do just as much damage as one in a sleeve
