I think Pippi might have to leave her eggs about 3 miles away to get enough traffic sadly LT! :rotfl: :rotfl:

((((((greeval)))))) sounds utterly vile Hope they sort you out soon xx

Well done on the seed sale Pips - the first of many lets hope!
Greenval glad to hear you're at least beginning to be on the mend, but the lump on your eye sounds horrible - I hope they can sort it out without too much painful stuff.

I have already learnt how to make an electricity-free fridge!! Could well set one up to keep veg chilled in a shed where there is no leccy!
Thats how we used to keep milk overnight before we had fridges - erm, not in plantpots obviously :rotfl:but you'd put the milk bottle in a bowl of cold water with a teatowel over it and with its ends in the water.

Oh dear, too many ideas and not enough time to think about them!!
I can relate to this - determined not to let myself be overwhelmed again tho.

I have to get going with a card for DH, as well as a card for DS2 as he is 18 in two weeks time. So off to get some sttiching done...garden stuff can wait until tomorrow

Thats the next project, when I'm not overwhelmed any more

Pippi is a tad isolated! Greenval, glad to get an update from you, and to know that they're taking care of you.

Having found an extra 100 packets of veggie seeds in my teaching box lets hope so eh? Unfortunately I'm not joking.

:rotfl:

I think I might have a tiny problem and an idea now where my hard earned pennies might have gone.

Into a seed packet :rotfl:

No money spent today - and another 1/2 dozen egg ordered via email

Hurray.

Cars do go past the end of the road (in real life, but you're all right not very often!!!) - we did see two yesterday when out for our walk - a sign wouldn't be a bad idea in the summer - if we've anything extra - thus far facebook and text/email are helping me with sales and the lovely blog of course - not what you'd call 'in your face' advertising I suppose!

Best have a word with those lovely ladies of yours then and get them to get laying a bit more! :j :j :j

:rotfl: at the number of seed packets you have :rotfl:

Having done the tally cheery - you don't want to know how many actual seeds I have. (maybe nearly - 26776 seeds) give or take a few in my care.:eek:

I'm selling them in multiples of 5 seeds (up to what anyone wants) - lets hope someone wants some!!!!

Once we work out our plan for what to grow in our pocket handkerchief Pips I may well be a customer!

Thats a good point - and those little plantlets as well .... I think I'd rather those than seeds.

Very exciting I offer a holistic service if you want (as an example) seeds or plants of 3 cabbages or 16 radishes or 14 1/2 spring onions - I'm your girl and of course my packaging is all recycled and I will grow to order too I use to do that before - which is nice knowing where the little mites will end up.

Oh that is exciting - I've done a proper list for the seeds and I'm not sowing much for a while, just slowly so it works well making plants available later on.

Not that these are exciting in a give me your dosh kind of way - just in an exciting type of a way!

I just hope that maybe I can help folk to try and grow their own too as well as adding to the patchwork.


I'm calling it the Peedie Vegetable Company - a bit of a rough and ready list until I put it on the web - but rather do it at a gentle pace to begin with. And the intials make me laugh, although I don't know why.

You want it, I got it, no matter how tiny the order

Working out a price per bit - not got that bit 100% yet but getting there. Trying to wrok out a general per lot price, but think it might need to be individual per order they all are different value/cost per seed. Having a think about that.

Managed to get a HC load dried on the line - amazing!! And, I saw a hen harrier going past when I was out there - not as exciting as cheerys garden - but kind neat all the same!
