Hi all, just signed up and am flabbergasted at the amount of information on this site. The comments from you all about your experiences have been interesting to say the least. My Kale and broccoli have also been taken over by caterpillars. My Money maker tomatoes in the greenhouse are doing well, although they rarely make it to the dinner table. I have more peppers than I know what to do with. I'll be keeping a close watch on what you are doing next, so I can copy!!!!!!! and learn.
Hi Caron, glad you're enjoying the site. Lots of people on here to copy from and ask questions. check out the other threads too, always something of interest for everyone.
Welcome Caron, this site is great. So many people with so much knowledge to share and to have a laugh with.
Lizzie your garden looks wonderful as always. Hope you enjoy your trip.
Gardeningfanatic not the best year to have no time to tend to the garden- but I'm sure you will soon get back on top of things. Enjoy your plant buying- I think it's just about my favourite thing to do. You also have seeds to sow.
Thanks for the lovely welcome MrsGarden, Busy-Lizzie, Potty Gardener. Great to know there are people out there!!! Only problem is I could sit here all day reading and not doing anything in the garden! Have been tackling a very prickly pyracantha this afternoon. Bought it as a "burgler deterrant" for the front window, but now I can hardly see through the window it is protecting. There are no berries on it this year and I've had very little flower this spring either so am hoping a good cut now (hopefully mostly the plant and not my arms) will help to bring the blossom back next year.
Will definately have a look at the Morning Forkers, thanks for that Busy-Lissie.

Potty gardener.....what seeds are you sowing now?
Caron if you go on the plants forum there is a seed share thread where we are sharing around our seeds.
Took these pix of my gate move - demolition and 'move' in progress:
and in it's new position with fence re instated:
just the step to make, and the entrance to sort, and the slabs to move and the neverending painting to do....not much really
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Your a wonder women in the DIY side of things Fairygirl great job will keep you in mind when am going to change my top end of my backgarden well done.
Looks good Fairy.
Was coming on here to put on the fruits of my labours, finally finished the new bed/border! Next task is putting in the bulbs!!
And from the other angle. . . .
When you have finished painting yours, you could come and do mine? It's only a 120 foot garden!
