  • Not bothered about the money, its just not a great product which was really difficult to put up, ive no confidence that it will withstand windy weather, ironic its called an ezee greenhouse- maybe they had prof Brian Cox to test it! image

    Just want them to know its pants! image
  • Don't think so KEF - they've decided to settle with the  stepchildren that DD has acquired when she and hub got together 14 years ago - they're teenagers now image

  • Morning folks!  Gosh, what a lot of busy people you are...  So far this morning I've made OH's sandwiches and mended the hem on his trousers, and had breakfast.  In the bad old days when I was working I'd have left the house by 8am - now I'm usually just thinking about getting up at that time...  image  But in the summer I'll be up and out earlier - usually...  image

    Right.  Off to the GC in a bit for Mum's birthday present (etc...  image)

    Morning all,  Nice and sunny here at the moment but not sure it's going to stay that way. 

    I've woken up to someone's alarm going off.  It's been going for an hour now and it's driving me insane. 

    Have had a delivery of Heuchera's but think they have sent me two the same by mistake.  Will have another look later and call them.

    Bekkie I would definitely complain to Tesco's  that's a lot of points you could have spent on something else and £14.00 is £14.00 (think of the seeds you could buy with that.

    Hubby's putting my new bench together and will be going out into the garden to sort out the area where it's going.  If I can stand the bl**dy racket of that alarmimage

    Hope you mate Den Tist is good to you Verdun.image

    BM, that garden looks fab, lots of potential, envious of the wildlife pond. Hubby not keen and I couldn't dig one out on my ownimage

    See you all later.

    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
  • Yvie, one of the few things i can still do is dig! You just let me know when youve persuaded your OHimage, its not as easy as slipping a few flowers in the border witjout him noticing! image



    Hope that alarm gets sorted soon! image



    Gosh Liri, your morning sounds as exciting as mine! Not healthy to get up too early, honestimage, is it your mums birthday today? image
  • Morning all.

    Another sunny day, but forecast for tomorrow and weekend is more rainimage So will make the most of today. 

    Washing on the line already, garden is like a bog so still can't get out there. So will go for another walk to get rid of a few more malteasers image

    I'd take the greenhouse back beks as everyone has said £14 is £14 and its not fit for purpose.

    I asked about Frank too the other day, hope he is well. Perhaps he's having a holiday. Best wishes Frank x

    Good morning forkers, had a lovely holiday but it is good to be back to folk who like to talk about gardensimage Saw some beautiful plants and am always interested to see that Gardeners are the same the world over. Pretty flowers and vegetables for the family

    How busy you have all been! I was up for hours last night trying to catch up but fatigue won so apologies for not mentioning everyone but glad to hear spring has sprung in some parts of the country.

    new gardens are so exciting  and working in established ones challenging but I just love being outside  sadly it is raining today and laundry seems unending so no excuse.image

    Welcome Backy LillyP glad you enjoyed your holiday.

    Have been out in the garden but had to come in, that B***DY alarm is still going full pelt.image  I thought they had to have a cut off point, but someone obviously hasn't told the owners.  Think I might go and investigate and if I find out whose it is I'll go and bang dustbin lids outside their house at about 3.00 a.m. (Oh that's showing my age - Dustbin lids?)

    I have managed to FB&B the borders (hoping for a spot of rain tomorrow to soak it all in) and bench has been put together and put in place.   Note bad for £59 including postage.    We placed it on a sheet of slate that was used on a fireplace two houses ago.  It's moved with us ever since and been used for various things.  It weighs an absolute ton. 

    I've posted a couple of piccies, the bench as it is now and the inspiration for adding one to the garden

    Morning all (just image )

    I do wish people would reply to emails when they are sent! Not a forum gripe, just one in general image 

    Sun is shining here image

    Bekkie, I've got a plastic greenhouse (a walk in one) and I think that blowing away is one of the hazards of having something you can't bolt down! mine has never blown away but I have weighted it down at the bottom with large blocks of concrete (old edging font being used). Don't know if that helps? image image
