Title: Thats the gardening done!
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 01 April 2013, 13:21:12
Well, I havent actually touched the garden, its too cold !  ;D

However, I have put the runner bean/courgette/sweetcorn seeds in pots and they are now in the kitchen window (too cold for greenhouse)

Anybody else started the seeds off yet? Or am I mad  ;D ;D

Seeing as how next door have been keeping me awake the last 3 days  >:( cleaning their gravel and raking it over and over and over, I am quite tempted to invest a bit of time buying several packets of watercress seeds and sowing them all over it :-X

Decided we are not growing anything this year, due to the neglect they get when we go away

Thats what neighbours are for, I just ask next door, if the weather is hot and im away, to water my veg patch. She's usually keen, as i give her a supply of veg when i return  :y

Tho i have got (given to me a few years ago) one of the watering kits with sprinklers and a timer, but im too lazy to install it  ::) ;D

Spent all of yesterday towing a massive plant trailer between here and the tip trying to get rid of the prunings I generated in a couple of hours last time it wasn't pi$$ing down (early February, I think it was. >:( ). Astroturf and plastic trees. That's the future. ::)
