    Luc found your diary - garden sounds good - would love to do something like that - only problem is i definately don't have green fingers!

    I have wanted a patch to grow veg for as long as I remember. When I was little my Dad had a veg patch, and when he was in Cornwall he did too. Also my late Granddad was a keen gardener and my Nan used to grow roses. I just love it.

    My fingers weren't so much green as black today though. So much work to do but so much potential:D (can you tell I'm excited?)

    Luc - i have a very tight debt repayment plan (self inflicted!) but any spare money is going to be ploughed (pardon the pun) into growing fruit and veg in the garden - i will be starting from scratch though - and can't do anything major to the garden cos i am planning on letting the dog have another litter of pups this summer and they wrecked all the plants last time!!! the profit from the pups will then go towards doing the garden properly - so next spring i should have a decent veg plot!

    They won the match BB but didnt get through to the next round on points.

    Just been to pick up DS2 (aged 14) and he has been to hospital to get a nasty split in his head glued on his own:eek:

    He said that he couldnt get a signal and as the hospital was within walking distance he just went with his friends. He then went back out on his skateboard until I have only just picked him up.

    I feel sick:(

    Tubs are good, I grew lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and carrots all in tubs last year.
