I don't blame you getting a takeaway....enjoy it

Love the smilie....very appropriate!!

Poor Piglet my ar*e though. He's absolutely fine. Did this last thursday at Nursery. He's very clingy lately and, as he finds it VERY easy to be sick, I think he knows I'll have to go and get him and take him home. He's now running round the garden like a lunatic. Mmm....VERY poorly.....NOT!!!!!

hello everyone.

Is it possible to make a cheap propagator using cling film?

-

You can cling film them or put them into a clear poly bag - once the little seedlings appear (almost immediately) though you need to take of the cling flim or make a tent out the tray and bag - couple straws inserted upright does this nicely to get some air in and allow the little blighters to breathe.

Glass or plastic does the same job - you are just making a little micro climate for them.

I quite often use straws or chopsticks (2 or 4) in a tray or pot and make them a wee tent the bag sits up over the top of the chop sticks liek a wee dome.

Bread bags are good as they are usually clear (ish) and long enough to use.

2ltr pop bottles are good as well if you cut them in half and pop ontop of the pot - or !!!!! holes in those plastic clear takeaway trays and half fill them with compost water carefully plant seeds and put the lid on - instant mini propagator. Loosen lid when they are up and then once they are all germinated take lid off during day and perhaps put it on at night for the first few nights. Til they aclimatise.

goodluck xx

Hi EVeryone

*Waving* It's lovely and sunny here! Shame I'm at work :rolleyes:.

OH and i might be going to China this summer - his cousin is getting married. Never been and am worried as I am a vegetarian! Don't know how I'm going to afford it though!

I didn't go shopping yesterday as I decided that I needed to really have a go at the food I already have!

My list for today includes things I didn't manage yesterday!

• Ironing
• Tidy kitchen
• Fold and clear dry clothes from living room to stop it looking like a laundry room (as if I'd be so lucky to have one of those!)
• Finish vegetable soup I made yesterday DONE
• Package up book I sold on Amazon :jDONE
• check smoke alarm - not sure it is working. Don't want to find out the hard way!
• Text friend using free texts DONE
• Email best friend in France DONE
• Check bank accounts and make sure everything is in order. DONE
• Renew books to avoid fine DONE
• Check jobs section of paper for any interesting jobs - starting to think about diversifying
• Go for a walk - it will increase my activity and help me to enjoy this lovely weather. DONE

Thats it for now.

woo hoo - just got a free lunch brought in. Sandwiches and fresh fruit left over from the open day

ps. Shame I just went to M&S and spend £7 on lunches for the next two day

I see a trend emerging today - perhaps I should have forwarded that nasty chain email I got the other day LOL

First time I have looked on this thread. I have found it a good push for me to think about what DFW I do on a daily basis and also what things I could/should be doing.

So far today I have:

• Hung the washing on the line instead of using tumble dryer
• Volunteered at local group - Free heating, free coffee and biscuits while helping others
• NSD - well so far anyway!!
• Checked online banking and moved money into savings
• Eaten last nights leftovers for lunch
• Free Scratchcards - 95p

I will keep reading for more ideas.

Well done, sorry I didn't read earlier.

Think of it as an investment - or take it back - if you have got a propagator - its really worth it.

Pm me if you need any further nerdy plant advice - happy to be distracted!!

As I am an idiot and I garden - I can happily give anyone this idiots guide to growing plants.:D
