Sweet Pea reaches first hurdle!

exciting for you to see growth...

lol it was while it lasted - squirrel exacavations again. Would you believe I put about fifty seeds in these troughs - sweet pea, sunflowers and a pack of another plant, and all that came up were half a dozen sweet peas and lots of weeds?

that was very disheartening..how do you plan to proceed!!!

lol taking them out and emptying the troughs! I'm moving in the next couple of weeks - no point lugging what is basically a trough full of dirt and seeds that won't grow. I probably didn't do these properly anyway. So I'll start again at the new place - and this time I'll read up on them first!

exciting :-)))) your be so busy...next year will be lovely...and your friends on here will be so eager to see how things are coming along... how wonderful...

lol I did wonder if I were doing the right thing, moving 200 miles further north just as winter was coming in!

But a GoY friend said that I'd be busy sorting the house for a few months, by which time it'd be spring and there might be bulbs coming up all over the place where there's not even a hint of them at the moment. So every day could bring a new surprise, which is a nice thought.

lol and I bought 20 boxes of spring bulbs from Sainsbury a couple of months ago! I had no idea where I'd put them here, unless crammed into a couple of dozen troughs (which I've got, just not got the space to put them out) and the same might apply there - where to put them so I don't interfere with the gardens (still can't get used to the plural!) until I find out what's where, what it is and if I want it to stay there.

Lol a bit like the Chinese curse, these are going to be interesting times!!

:-))) all sounding great!!!!
