Thanks, Zoomer44! I'm very keen on composting. One of the bins is now full and I have to be very strict with myself not to open it every time I'm on the plot to check on how it's doing...
That's really disappointing with the beekeeper. You wouldn't want to keep bees yourself?
Gardengirl, my mother never got a driving licence because she wasn't able to follow instructions "turn left" and "turn right". I imagine there are far more dyslexic people around than are ever diagnosed, if that makes sense.
GG, they dont take long to germinate but are late summer flowering.
Lovely plot Aster, are you in the countryside, it looks very rural or is that an illusion?
Went to Aldi today to do my weekly shop, big poster for the garden stuff advertising it for todays date, guess what, no gardening stuff to be seen (tools etc) Plenty of plants and small trees though
Ginagibbs , Aldi the web site say garden stuff from tommrow , o/h is going to go and get some perlite , vermiculite and 2 window sill propergates , have 2 already and they are great , not sure about poultry pellets , have been to Range and B & Q today , Aldi is considerably cheaper
Compost , have got 2 bins ready to empty , gong to put some around Rhubarb and some on aprasgus bed
GWRS snap went to B &Q today too, we got some half calf purple welly boots - me and mum, some seed compost and multipurpose compost, also a few sale plants wallflower and primroses for a few quid also had a £10 off voucher when spend over £30, had a quick nose in some of the sheds not too bad, they have some nice bulbs in stock
Have used the chicken pellets before still have some somewhere in garage got them from a neighbour good for putting in planting hole to feed the plants
I have planted the plants already in front door pot and one near plastic green houses
Thanks Ginagibbs
Aster that is probably right
When we go to Aldi we should all take a picture of the front of the building see how different the buildings all look
Lidl from next week the Thursday 3.3.16 are going to be having garden stuff in even long ish forks, spades and long handled cultivator - want one of those
Well here is the pic of the outside of Aldi that I went to
Got some seed compost, netting tunnel and netting growing cloche, windowsill tray as the one I have is a bit broken and cracked, vermiculite, sieve and waterproofing spray
Also as they had trees outside which were down to £2.49 I decided to get an apple tree Golden Delicious really like that apple have a tree at home already, will plant in a pot for now
GWRS that sounds right, took a picture of the store, good you will be ready for April
Did get some sarpo Mira spuds though, two chilli plants and 5 asparagus roots from Robinson's yesterday and 2 chilli plants from B&Q today, they were only ??1 each.
I plan to sow some chlli seeds so these are different varieties.
