Just keep reading this forum Jonus as we all gee each other along so you will be swept along too and will soon be girding your loins. I don't even look at my allotment till March as it is like a paddy field.
Yeah, chin up Jonus, I've got cabin fever! otherwise I would not start threads like this! What helps me get through this limbo period, is I start to wash seed trays and pots. I buy a cheap drawing pad and start planning displays.
This weekend I'll be repairing trellis and maybe wash the outside of the greenhouse.
Hi Jonus, I only joined last night and am sure a lot of the daft questions will be from me......I have a head full of them but don't want to take over the site!!
Re the comments about the illuminations, unfortunately the buses that arrive now are hen and stag do's and generally don't care where they stop when needed (fact.....being fairly local to Blackpool but NOT in Blackpool!!). Nothing like it was when I was little and came to stay with my Nan and gramps for the summer!
At least stuff does grow in Blackpool. The gardens on the front, driving past the dunes towards Lytham, are amazing considering all the sand, wind and rain they get, and few, if any, are gravelled over.
Hi Jonas & I think I've already said hello to Tracey
Jonas I'm feeling very lacking in motivation at the moment due to everything being wet through. What I have been doing is Googling the plants that people mention on the forum. I started keeping a book in the Summer of all the plants I wasn't familiar with and which sounded like my sort of plants...now I just need a bigger garden.
Tracey doesn't matter what questions you ask, we have all had to learn at some time. Years ago I went into panic mode because my Hostas were "dying" I re-potted, fed them to no avail. Had there been the forum someone would have told me that they die back in Winter, rather than me worrying.
Hi KEF...always handy to know what twerking is, I don't think anyone has mentioned googling Miley Cyrus who introduced us to twerking!!!
Zoomer, the gardens on the front driving into Lytham are beautiful! I think a lot of those people have professionals to do the hard work for them and I don't live in one of them unfortunately.
Hello to you all, thank-you for replying to my bleat. After sending my letter I put away the gin bottle and gathered up my husband and went and did some tidying up on my plot. Such a lot of rubbish had suddenly appeared, leaves, twigs and such. Lots of bending, lifting and huffing and puffing and hey presto aching backside! Lots of bags of rubbish and very little to see for my hardish work.

Will there be any twerking at the football???
Hey, Tracey,
At least stuff does grow in Blackpool. The gardens on the front, driving past the dunes towards Lytham, are amazing considering all the sand, wind and rain they get, and few, if any, are gravelled over

Also the forum has taught me what "twerking" is.

If it wasn't for a lot of pruning that can be done from the roadside I'd be really frustrated now.
