Still need Vit. D., there is none during winter. As you have suggested many times to posters, usually in a rather rude manner, do your research. IN THE UK, IN WINTER, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SUN, TO MAKE VIT. D.

It's recommended that everyone take a supplement containing 10 micrograms (10 μg, equivalent to 400 IU) of vitamin D daily in autumn and winter.
More than this is not necessary, and is likely to be more expensive, but you can safely take up to 25 micrograms if that’s the size you can find. Don't take very high doses of vitamin D, as if you do this over a long period of time, it can cause too much calcium to build up in the body, which can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and heart.
You should take vitamin D all year round if any of these apply to you:
you have dark skin (for example, if you have an African, African-Caribbean or south Asian background)
you don’t spend much time outdoors
you cover most of your skin when outdoors
you are a child aged one to four.

To provide the most luxurious feline toilet in the neighbourhood. Nothing beats the thrill of discovering a fresh cat turd after working long and hard in your garden.
Lol!
I garden mostly because I can't stand frowsting indoors. Never feel as alive in the house as when outside.
Some for show, some to keep-up-with-the-Jones's ... Please tell us why you do it......
I love watching seeds that I've sown grow into adult plants
I love testing to see if the seed I bought will indeed look like the pics on the seed packet (a lot of times the Ebay ones never even grow)
I love seeing last year's plants return to say hello even stronger
I love giving a home to new plants (I find it hard to resist new species I come across)
I love feeding the bees with the huge array of bee-friendly plants
I love to switch plants around to see if they fare better and if the lines flow better
I love to watch my garden evolve and change year by year
I love to take care of my trees
I love to share my garden with my family who praise and appreciate - gives me a huge sense of wellbeing and achievement.
There is nothing like sitting with a Guinness in my garden late into the evening when the sun still lights the sky, admiring the fruits of my labour.....inside saying to myself I did this
I love to look at what I've created this year and make plans for next year based on what's worked well or otherwise
My garden is another very important room in my house and I love to show it off hoping it brings as much joy to others as it does me

Bane of my life too, more so when your dog finds cat poo tastier than Butcher's Prime Cuts
To find gardeners who garden for vanity you need to survey exhibitors who grow specifically to compete against similar minded growers, to beat them, take home a smidgen of prize money and possibly have their picture in a local rag holding an antiquated trophy. They are usually obsessive about whichever plant they grow to show, but they are also, in their own way, finding happiness. Everyone else seems to garden to create a happy place to recharge their batteries and simply feel happy and fulfilled. What more could anyone ask for?

Why keep your garden unchemicalled but dose yourself?
