    Hello BobSter!

    Hope you have sunshine where you are?

    Re: Mr Bob - sorry to hear that he is not playing ball. Men can be real pains sometimes. Suggest witholding all food and beverage supplies til he bucks his ideas up!

    Hi BOB

    Just came on to share some hugs....:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:...as was posting on my thread about that whole thing of wanting to be in control of your life and your finances etc but how disempowering and frustrating it is to find them getting screwed up by the actions (or inactions) of others......in my case builders, insurance companies and Acts of God....;)..

    ......and also to suggest maybe you should try pumpkin lobbing this year instead of turnips.....:D:D...

    ..I got a free gro-bag yesterday from my local garden centre...not sure what I'm going to grow this year.....but want to make sure it has suitable missile capability ;):D:cool:

    Hi Wol,:AA free grow bag??? Totally envious:D I haven't decided what to grow yet:o I am working on rearranging the garden as our Recycling Council have added another large wheely bin ( bright blue) to the other two and a collection box on top:o The question of space comes to mind:cool:

    A few pumpkins would be good, but i am a short !!!!,

    so find lobbing turnips easier:rotfl:


    Hey GG:D Yes it was nice here today and after a teeny bit of rain a massive rainbow came out to bless us:D

    I have quite a few packs of seeds, but will look on there as well, thanks for the tip Skinty. Was just delaying until i could reorganise.

    Hmm...I would be tempted to drill suitable holes in the new bin and use it to grow potatoes or extremely long carrots :rotfl::rotfl:

    Reference the turnips....perhaps something less hard and more squishy (and able to ferment easily for more drmatic effect) would provide greater lobbing satisfaction this year???....after all a change is as good as a rest :D....and it may prove enough to shock the intended target..;)

    Ooh free seeds....thanx Skinty....:A
