    I've just posted loads of photos on the 'Midlands' thread, didn't think i'd better post them in this thread as well though.

    Got myself a lovely gooseberry bush today, a pot of autumn bliss raspbery canes - which have started sprouting and some peas..

    Question: I completely forgot to ask about the peas.. in a pot there must be at least 10 seedlings. Are they ok to go out now? I want to put in pots, maybe some in ground if garden ready on time, how many to a pot?

    Chimera, the link in your signature doesn't work, i wanted to have a nosey at your gardening pics!

    The ready to eat now stuff is a bit of a cheat to be honest, didn't start early enough so bought some plug plants from local farm shop for 6p each!!!! Great while I'm waiting for the rest to grow! May get some more if they have some, can't go wrong for 6p..
  • 6p? That's fantastic.
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!

    Yup.. I bought 20!!! A whole £1.20 I love my local farm shop :)

    Hopefully they will have some more as I fancy putting some in a pot - we eat loads of salad :)

    I couldn't view your pics, have you got your privacy settings set too high (on FB)?
    I take it the greenhouse will be set up before you even unpack your household boxes.....LOL.
