  • It is very exciting. I had promised myself that I would give it a year to see what comes up, and work out what is growing where, but i m really struggling to have the patience, and so much of it is overgrown, I think a lot is going to be done from scratch. I like a challenge, and like you say, will be good to make it my own image

    Hi PoddingtonP, how did you choose that avatar?

    Very cold all day here, even a brief flurry of snow. Spent a bit of time in the greehouse trying to make some space on the staging, so that there is room for all the seed trays which will hopefully be in there over next month or so.

    Autumn sown sweet peas are looking good, 6 inches tall and bushy and, I have sown more inside. I like to sow at different times to try and get flowers over a longer period. Potted up some seed grown violas and the autumn sown Ammi.

  • Punkdoc, Poddington peas is a children's TV programme from my childhood (80s/90s). All the characters are peas (hap-pea, grump-pea etc.) It has a brilliant theme tune that goes ' down at the bottom of the garden, among the birds and the beas, there lived a lot of little people, called the Poddington peas' 

    The avatar is hap-pea. Loved it as a child. Maybe that's what got me into gardening....

    Hi PP nice to meet you. There's plenty of very knowledgeable people here to inspire and advise you and keep you amused - in equal measure. I might manage the last one image

    Verd- I struggle to keep my face straight in car dealerships. Do you think they just don't get  the fact that we're all wise to the bull****? I can understand them trying it on when it's someone young like me..... but it's different with someone 'mature' like yourself whose been round the block a bit....imageimage

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
