    Here's the link to my current gardening attempts, and also my brand new pride and joy..........my greenhouse!!!!!

    Also a close up of a flower in my garden (not sure what they are called), i used the macro setting on my camera for this and i'm really impressed, so much so that i've used the picture for the background on the pc, how sad is that lmao

    wow that purple flower looks lovely. Hope you get the greenhouse full up with lots of seedlings!

    I got four rose bushes and a couple of shrubs off freegle today and I am really hoping the roses take but at the minute it looks like I am just planting sticks lol. I'll be so chuffed if they flower. The lady was taking out all her plants to lawn it all :eek:

    Pammyj74 i'm sure the roses & shrubs will be fine once you have them planted watered and fed, well done with freegle her loss is your gain. i have a rose in my garden which doesn't look very healthy at the mo, but i'm sure it will be lovely when it bursts into life.
  • Love seeing everyones pictures. Nice to see people trying their veggies in containers it gives me hope for mine!
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!

    Omg Pammyj74 why on earth would you be embarrased you are doing really well. I have never even thought to grow a rose from seed let alone tried it. I am very jealous! Keep us updated with pics!

    Red-boxer you garden looks fab and so sunny plus you have a Real greenhouse, I really do have garden envy! You veggies seem alot further on than mine, did you plant them early?

    Everyone else please post pics, I just love looking at them all!

    Hi Kiely27, i started most of the seeds mid march but they were all started of indoors on windowsills, 1 pot of carrots and 1 pot of spring onions that were sown and left outdoors are way behind the ones started of indoors.

    We've had lovely weather over the past week, although that is going to change tomorrow according to the weather forcast on 'countrywise'......boo hoo.

    I've waited a long time to get the greenhouse,and it took a lot to persuade the other half it would be worth it (he's no gardener), over the past few years i've had the 4 tier plastic greenhouses and they are great for smaller plants, i'm even using them inside the new greenhouse (without the plastic cover)as staging.

    This thread is great, seeing other peoples lovely gardens and getting ideas for your own
