Cafc - I heard white vinegar is good to de-odourise smells.

Just bought 3 bags of Erin compost for £12 plus got a free sweet chilli plant (well asked for it!).
Spring onions - from my experience they are slow to germinate and grow very slowly initially. Mine seem to grow a bit better when planted outdoors and well watered. Also thin them out so they dont get overcrowded.

Why did I not think of good old white vinegar............:T

An outdoor broom is a necessary purchase beforehand I think....no way im getting down on my hands and knees 3 weeks off due date and scrubbing off dog pee in the yard..... i might never get up again!

Kimmeee I now have 3 french beans for my wigwam! Another one has come through whilst I was at work

Now I'm really gnashing my teeth heynonnynonny :rotfl: Seriously - I'm really pleased for you, sad to say I still have one poor lonely french bean which I did take pity on this evening and potted up with my peas.

I've still got the other pots in my conservatory, just incase they decide to suddenly burst into life but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway - well done you :beer:

All my plants are in pots as I live in rented accommodation with a lawned garden at the back and gravel at the front and the landlady wont let me dig the lawn up lol

Most of my plants are doing OK and are in either troughts, flower pots or trugs

Strawberries - started producing flowers
Beans about 4 inches tall now
Peas about 3 inches tall
Raspberries - taken well in its pot looks very green and lush
Potatoes growing in a hessian bag for life
Carrots - just getting their feathery leaves
Tomatoes - doing well
Garlic - doing well
Peppers - doesnt seem to be growing very much (either that or im being impatient)
Courgettes - doing well
Salad leaves - doing well
Basil - doing well
Marjuram - doing well
Parsley - doing well
Chives - doing well
Mint - spreading like wild fire haha
