    Hello everyone, I think I've just about kept up with everything going on, just haven't felt much like posting.  Thanks for PM's, I'll reply in a bit (if I don't fall asleep, if I do it will be tomorrow). I've had a busy weekend and stressed to the max at home image 

    Mum has come home today, I can't tell you anything because I don't know anything apart from what I was told originally which is that she was in for a biopsy......which I know isn't true because I'm not stupid.  But seen as I'm only a little girl I'm obviously not old enough to know the truth imageimage. Anyway.......as they say to be a good liar you need a good memory, which my dad most definitely does not have!!

    Anyway, that's enough of that.....onto gardening talk.  I have today made myself a lovely new protection system for my brassicas, as you can see my technical skills have a lot to be desired image

     How big do cucumbers need to be before you pick them and should they still have prickly bits on (Defenders)? I'm presuming they don't get as big as shop bought ones, although they are fatter image

     ooohhh......I've just found my green sieve thingy I was looking for the other day for ages (in the background!)

    Evening all.

    Did anyone else see the Tiger programme, just the cutest thing imagineable. Terrible to think that there may soon be none left in the wild.

    Pricked out all the biennial seeds today, so now have a very stiff back. Now on second G@T , which should ease the pain. Some cake for afters would be nice.

    Enjoy the rest of your evenings.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Hi Lily, you have mail image

    Forgot to say welcome to the new lady Rebecca, I see you've got us all sussed out already Rebecca, although I am one of the least bonkers ones.  I've not been on for a few days so that's why my welcome is belated. I've not been on that long and am still amazed by how friendly and caring everyone is image

    Your garden looks fab orchidlady, thanks for the welcome image

    I did watch the tiger thing in between ruining tea - gave my OH uncooked salmon- woops! He really dosent like it now.

    When you see tigers like that, its hard to believe that they can be dangerous, and why people want them as pets - so cute image

    I think your hoop thingies look great OL image Perfect for keeping the flutterbys off!

    OL, parents think that they can always protect us, but don't realise there comes a time in our lives when we want to protect them ((Hugs))

    Rebecca, I'd love a silver birch tree image I do have the space, but Pa Panda, who has the car, said I couldn't have one until I'd planted everything that I had bought image image I have now, but I think it's probably the wrong time to buy one now image

    'Doc, missed the tiger thing. Too busy catching up with other bits image
