When you need advice and a chat about your new future greenhouse Aster, please come back here. You better start saving for a new freezer for all the veg. you are going to grow when you get that other plot!
I always have too many seedlings, I grow them on and sell them in charity plant sales.
I've just planted out 2 heucheras that I bought last year and hadn't got room for then. A space always turns up eventually. In the past I just used to dig another bed, but OH says now I'm no longer a spring chicken new beds are out! He says I have too many beds and it's upsetting my arthritic knee.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I will, Busy-Lizzie! The new freezer idea has occurred to me, seriously, but I have nowhere to put it. I'm thinking of getting some sort of wooden box for my (tiny) patio to keep at least some of the veg there for a while. Any ideas on that are welcome.
I buy plants, plant them, then decide I haven't got room for them or they're the wrong colour, so I dig them up and give them to Wonky for her garden - problem solved
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Aster2 welcome
I took on half an allottment a few years ago and eventually took on others the half on best thing I done for a long time
go for it , lots of advise on allottment gardening on hear , found it so useful
In my head I have a good sized garden for that shrub that grows 6ft wide with beautiful foliage and flowers.
In reality I find I cannot really squeeze it into that 6in space between the penstemon and primrose (however hard I try!).
Thank you, GWRS!
A greenhouse...(in my dreams!).
Spending far too long trying to decide where to plant something...only to realise after I've planted it that it's not where it was supposed to be
Using my mum's conservatory to start off seedlings and young plants, with the inevitable trail of soil and gardening 'stuff' that it involves.
Trying to carry on gardening when it is getting dark.
Going outside to do something, only to get completely sidetracked and do something else instead.
I always grow too many vegetables . I'm determined to be more choosy this summer.

Love this topic! It's like going to gardening confession in the comfort of home!
Compost - I can't bring myself to empty my pots and add fresh stuff. The best they get is a bit of new stuff mixed in the top.
Also, turning the stuff in the compost bin. Surely it will all just rot down on its own eventually, right?
