    mine is more or less maintenance free - previous owner put lots of things in that flower at various times so it's just weeding and grass cutting. I'm going to try growing some veg though I think...:eek::eek:

    I've grown peas a few times Beanie so they seem to be fairly idiot proof and thrive on neglect - love em fresh from the pod. Try this site http://www.bbc.co.uk/digin/index.shtml I've sent for the free seeds and it seems to have a lot of info.
    My ex inlaws used to grow courgettes and they did ok down here, I'd like tomatoes but can't afford a greenhouse...

    Nipped into town today for a couple of bits and pieces out of the pound shop and managed to only spend a pound there but mentally spent loads! so many pretty clothes... have decided that DS and I don't need anything else until after I'm DF and I'm trying to stick to that. I might have to buy his school sweatshirts in May/June as that's when the PTA order them but that's it! I DO NOT NEED THE PRETTY DRESSES!!!!

    P.S. All my pals are away, DS is away and I'm BORED!

    Recreational shopping is not the way to go...and you can never complain if your son is bored during the 6 weeks holiday...

    Not got anything planned for yourself over the holiday?
