moonbabe- oh I love that dress.
I keep threatening to make soup, but have loads in the freezer from my last enthusiasm for it. Sensible thing to do would be to use that and veer away from the disgusting cup a soups
*makes that mission*

ooo, just saw garden chat! Last year I grew tomatoes and cucumbers We had a greenhouse in the garden of our rented house and was still getting tomatoes in october!
Think I have caught the gardening bug and have made OH make me a raised bed corner in the garden for veggies. Just not to sure where to start now!

This is the one I've been lusting after but not sure if a smaller one would be just as good an take up less room.

DH won some Argos vouchers recently for doing well at work and it's enough to buy a new dishwasher, strimmer and the greenhouse.

PF - agree with retro, you can grow chili (never sure if that's chili or chilli?) peppers, salad leaves, cress to name a few really easily on a window ledge.

Moonbabe, I got a lovely book for Xmas that has what to do in the garden in each month. I'm pretty sure it's instructing me to get out there and dig but *sticks fingers in ears* la, la, la I can't hear it.

i love gardening chat I could go on all night haha!
I will say most of our veg we have grown apart from the runner beans and cucumbers are started with the seeds from the actual thing we have eaten...for example on the kitchen window now (in yoghurt pots) we have one pepper planted (sprouted) seeds taken from a red pepper, one apple tree (in an actual pot now its so big!) seed taken from an apple, cherry tomato (sprouted) from a cherry tomato...oh and a pomegranate (sprouted too lol) from you guess it an actual pomegranate....my OH has an obsession with taking the seeds and planting them since last year we got a bumper crop of tomatoes that came from one cherry tomato seed lol

Ohh can I show you ours? (our allotment I mean )

This was it when we first got it (Feb) ...




And this was it in May - it doesn't take long if you can put a bit of effort in and the rewards are fantastic !

Does being 5ft 5 make me small? I have always felt little compared to my friends!
.

I'm the same height, I feel very tall for a woman in my family! But DH's family are even smaller, I feel like some huge ungainly giant when with them
