Cheers hun me too, I have a big old shed I'd l;ike to have used for potting etc but my dad is staying a while and is full of his belongings, so my own little space would be brill. Oh blimey I really NEED to look at the half price seeds, hope they still have some - what an investment for next year! Aha go on confess how many you bought

The half price offer is on until the 14th...

Well, I actually did 2 orders. After I did the first I found the value range (which was mostly flowers) at about 30ishp a packet, wish I'd noticed sooner, but I was trying to be good and now I've ended up paying double postage!

Ok I just counted and I ordered 18 packs the first time and 13 the second... :rotfl:

Apparently I'm a seed addict too!

Dh and I had a um discussion about my potting bench going in the shed, but he sawthe light in the end! (He just wanted to make sure he had room for his bike.)

jani, sorry to read that you are having a bad day. No need to apologise for expressing how you feel. It's good to talk and not internalise things. We are a fairly friendly bunch here and i see no reason why we can't offer a little support to one another while sharing our gardening highs and lows and buys and woes.

Hope things start to improve for you soon.

I second that. Hope things get better soon. *hugs*

The problem with rhubarb in my head is that you can't get a harvest off it the first year, you're supposed to let it establish itself and either take no harvest or a really light one.

Since everyone's got pics, I've started keeping a photo record every couple of weeks. Photobucket Link for the pics today

As far as I know there isn't a rule saying you can only post when yer having a good day or even just when it's a pretty average day. Hope you feel better soon.

Maybe we need a dedicated thread for posts like

Which critters ate my Gooseberry:mad:

My children just mixed up all my seedlings :eek:

My best friend's cat/dog just crapped on my radishes

:o Honey - you know I just cut the hedge where your sunflowers for the Show are err were growing?

Arghhh I mixed up weedkiller and watered my veg with it:eek::eek:

and

Help! My greenhouse blew away and is in bits scattered across a four acre field.:(:(:(


I once went to clean out a stable, it had been a bit windy actually. All that was left of it was the concrete base. The trail of broken boards led into a four acre field which was, to put it mildy, fair littered with planks. On the bright side though there was no straw or muck to clean up :rotfl:

Thirded!

Feel free to share as much or as little as you want. If not with us, there's always a diary or calling the Samaritans (they're nice people who really want to listen).

Crying is good for the soul, tea always make you feel better.
