Hi Mo4

Bet this is getting like a full time job for you!!!!

Out of interest how many times have you sent the plan out? Just think, the average person with a garden could easily save over £200 and with an allotment as well you could save so much more than that.

I only have hanging baskets and pots and I think I will probably save around £110 and that doesn't include the little fruit trees that I am going to buy to pot this year because I know they don't always fruit much in their first year. To be honest, I expect this figure to be much higher because I have underestimated how well my strawberry and blueberry plants will do, plus I am going to try some new things this year but I haven't included them either because I am not sure how well they could do.

I have applied for an allotment but I know the wait in this area is quite long.

To everyone with a little garden or lack of space, don't let that stop you! It's surprising when you think about where you can squeeze in another hanging basket or pot - even if your garden is north facing you could have a little cherry tree in a pot (T&M do one especially for pots!!!! Yaaaayy!!

Hi mumof4
I have pm'd you for a copy of your gardening plans too :j
I tried being organised myself but it'll take me until June to work out what I'm supposed to plant now *sighs*

I think we'll all have a whip-round and buy you a secretary to answer your PM's!

But what with my potato success and everything else failure last year.. I need all the help i can get. I am determined to grow more than just enough potatoes for 1 meal

Already past the 3000, which is just amazing.

I'll be sending out more plans today been a bit busy fixing chicken run and looking after an ill toddler.

Thats great thanks. I personally would love chickens, but we dont have the space, and the neighbours dog would frighten them no end

Did you rehome your girls, I noticed you had a bit of interest on the omlet forum but not sure if it was of help.

After deciding what hens I was getting I'm off to Nibley farm either in the morning or next week as they have some of the breeds that I was looking for.

home fell through.... ds been v.upset about it all have been having huge discussions.... dh and I have decided to try and soundproof the house - we felt that if we could minimise absolutely any early morning noise then there could be no complaints... so fingers crossed

can't wait to hear how you get on with getting your newbies! (and I want info on NBF too!!!!! )
