I will leave them in the large plantpot . Can't be bothered to dig them up. Apart fom which , i dont think i will have much room left to plant them after i get all those plants in out of the greenhouse, I have already weeded and turned over part of my grass in the back garden .

ahhhhhhh ok, i dont blame you really, turning your garden over is a nightmare, i started but the i couldnt be bothered with doing the rest so i just covered it in grass seed lol

I do put a lot of work into my gardens every year , and i used to have an allotment aswell !! It got too much because i was at work most days

like i've said to you before Davey, i wish i had an allotment, i'd open a shop with all the veggies i'd grow

its OK i did it anyway, cut 3/4 of the garden then the mower broke

Take it you run over the electric cable??

MUMMIBOO · 12-05-2008, 19:25

You need to get a petrol mower if you have a large garden an electric one will just burn out if you have a large one. I got one thats self propelled it just take you with it no effort needed! well not much.

My toms are doing really well: now got a plastic greenhouse ( cheap ) but it does the job and if I stick at growning my own, next year I will go for a real one:
spuds doing really well: and salad leaves all grown in plastic garden bags from the pound shop:
Now going to have a go at making some raised beds....

flashy · 12-05-2008, 20:06

wow thats really good magpie, my dad has made a make-shift greenhouse, he's used his trailer and some plastic sheeting, it actually looks really good, i must take after my daddy cos i'm weeeeeally clever too

and no Davey, i didnt run over the cable, it just stopped working

On the* allotments , we used to have a double glazing* firm we knew they took the old frames out of the houses and put the new ones in . then they brought the old ones down to the allotments , and we would build greenhouses out of them . They looked crap but they worked .
