A bit of Fun !

glad to hear you'll be back on your feet soon

i love to recycle my gardens full of toilets baths wellies tyres bottles. its great fun. what sort of things were you thinking of using?

I try to recycle but I don't have many inventive ideas! So I'll look forward to seeing others' inventions. Ducky's were great!
I hope you soon get moving around again. It must be agonisingly frustrating watching the weather improving and things starting to grow but you can't get out there.
I've just thought of one thing that I've recycled recently. When I was having a sort through the shed I found an old , damaged coir basket liner so I hung it up in the garden for the birds to use for nesting. Some has gone already!

I used to have an old supermarket basket I found lying on the road. I used it as a hanging basket. It would be a good idea to see what others use. I'm not very good though but I'll try.

Perhaps we could try a supermarket trolley LOL ! It would need a lot of compost!

lol, - and would cost a pound.

It would be good if when members upload their photos they tell you, Sue, and give you permission to put the pictures all on one blog for viewing, rather like my wellie blogs where I include wellie photos from lots of different members.

at least the shopping trolly would have wheel so you could move it into position...

Yes, move it round to the sun all day.
You're right Blodyn, just a pound. What a bargain!

I think that's a great idea Sue. Now, I wonder what I can use.....Hmmmm.......this will take some serious consideration.!!
Do we wait until the plants are in full bloom before posting pics?

That’s great !! ~Yes TT good idea all photos should go into one blog.~ Sandra my Zimmer frame is a definite candidate for something to climb on besides my grandson! Paul ~ I shell expect something grand from you!!!! ~ Gilli yes full bloom would be great or even a before and after shot! ~ Hywel I’m sure you will work wonders.

I'm in! I'll have to see what I can dig out of the garage to use! I sowed 12 different types of annuals for using in hanging baskets last week, one of them has sprouted already. First time in over 30 years I have grown this many from seeds. You guys are having a bad (good?) effect on me!

i dropped my very expensive crash hat 3 years ago and i had to replace it. i did hang it by the chin strap and put some dwarf sweet peas in. i had hoped it would retain water but sadly not that successful. perhaps i chose too greedy a plant. the replacement helmet means that i am extra careful now as heavens knows how many plants i could have bought instead! no photos though :o( so wont mine count?

Is there a deadline Sue???

Hi Gilli ~ No deadline lets just look back this time next year and see how we all did hopefully by then someone will come up with another idea for next year???!!!!

Wohlibuli ~ I'm pleased we are having a Bad effect on you!

Seaburngirl~ Nice try!! NO!!! I want photos but put the crash hat down first LOL!!
:0)

I'm in Sue, will have to give it some thought!

Good idea! Should be fun to see what everyone does! :)

My container will have to be on the ground - we aren't allowed to put hanging baskets up on a listed building!

PG ~ Get your thinking cap on! ~Spritz On the ground hanging around or somewhere in-between it doesn’t matter just join in and have fun

i got new wellies today...i wounder what i could do with the old ones...

I suspect something's a foot Sandra! Perhaps we should have a contest for the worst joke or pun! I'd win hands down wouldn't I ???

HI there.... hope u r up and about now... talking of recycling I have been raising seeds in the packaging from Somerfield's chilled profiteroles... a black plastic tray, complete with circular indentations, perfect for the little discs of compressed compost that swell up when you water them.... they have a clear plastic domed lid so it becomes an ideal little propagator for nothing.... well pounds actually.... on the hips.... someone had to eat all the profiteroles.... i have selflessly eaten 193 packs so far.....purely so that i could grow seeds you understand! the things we do for our gardens....

sorry! don't know how i managed to print the same thing twice... i've tried to rectify it and can't so before i post it 37 times i'll stop rather than make matters worse!

Hi Clematiscrazy I’m sure all that gardening will sort out those extra pounds! That is a great idea though. I am still on crutches but am only able to stay on my feet for about 20 minuets at a time getting there though.
I love the area you live in I am 8 miles north of Southampton I often bring my granddaughter over to the island for a day out.
