Thanks Keiss, I do have tomatoes and peppers and the like, but didn't think my pots were deep enough for spuds, but just shows you that you can grow stuff by default, and with lots of neglect!

Thats great, Gill - are you going to do it again?

Neglectful gardening is good

Well done on ebay stuff Pippi! :T :T :T

I've been gardening too I did actually manage to plant the neglected ivy and violas that have been sat there for a fortnight in pots Then the planter fell apart, I pulled the rest of it apart, Mr Daffs decided we would have been better off fixing it, so I left him to it :rotfl: then when he'd done planted some stuff in it, and then it went dark!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: For some reason I thought I had until at least 7pm but clearly not! :eek:

Thanks Pippi, I managed to win a purse, hope it's ok enough to give niece, otherwise I'll keep it as my purse is on its last legs...was going to make one, but too busy making things to sell!!

Cheery's right, you have been busy today!

Managed to get quite a lot of paid stuff done before my asthma got quite bad, not sure why. Still, that floored me for a few hours, had to take quite a few puffs of my inhaler to calm it down.

Heading for bed as I am shattered, hope this asthma has calmed down and I get a good night's sleep.

Night, night xxx
