Several times today I've heard my OH saying " stop gardening you none stop gardener ! "...............now that I have finally stopped I wish I'd listened to him a few hours ago .......lol
When I can finally get out there , in the sunshine and spring flowers I go over the top and make myself ache from top to toe !
But I bet I'm not the only one .
Anyone else suffering from over enthusiasm ? lol

Very true Lynda : )) No gain with out pain.....lol . My garden looks splendid now and the back ache is a happy one : ))

Hi Amanda:)....the garden is sprouting now with Daffs, Hyacynths and the likes....I saw a shoot on one of my Canna's too......

My Koi (that I breed) are getting hungry too,...and need treating soon....all my Koi ponds are very active tho.....and so glad they all survived the harsh winter...but then me ponds are deep, so they mainly sat down there..

i have yet to plant me seeds i was gona do it today but baby S, went out for the day haha, it ill be winter by the time i sow them lol xxx

Sleeping well sounds good Lynda ......all that fresh air and exercise : ))

Hello Whirley......I'm glad to hear your fish have survived the winter . I've got a little pond ( just goldfish and frogs in mine.....lol ) but they are getting active , it's good to see them moving about at long last .

Buggs......I do most of my gardening during the year on my hands and knees ( less strain on my back then .....lol ) But as you say , it's worth it in the end : ))

Stray....what seeds have you got ?? My granddaughter ( whos 5 ) started off some sunflower seeds in my greenhouse last week , they are already starting to show : ))

i always plan to get my garden well in order by Easter weekend
i am now well on target
Baby Satan has been helping me plant seeds
and i have bought 3 little green houses this year
and the seeds are well germinating away
all i have to do now is a bit of jet washing
a little tidying up a bit of planting later

and its done

sunflowers, carrots, onion, lettuce, beatroot, radishes, beans, cnt remeber what else lol


and iv just sent of for the free seeds with bbc's dig it,

and im hoping to go get a few strawerry plants in the next few weeks lol xx

Sounds as if lots of us have been being busy : ))

I used to have one of the little greenhouses Joy , they work really well but be warned if it's a tallish one they can blow over ( mine did when I first had it and I was gutted to see all my trays of seedings on the ground ) I put a heavy weight on the bottom shelf after that.

Stray......sounds as if your going to be growing green fingers ......lol....enjoy : ))

aw amanda i loathe gardening of any kind lol,

i kill the kids sunflowers every year for the last 5 year haha, but this year im gona grow one bigger than mams im tellign ya olololol

as for the veg, it will end up dinner for the rabbits but baby S will love growing it and may convince him to try his own work haha xxx

Lynda....strawberry plants are tough things , even if they look all dead and shriveled the chances are they will spring back to life with some warmth and t l c. Our ones on the allotment always survive ok .

The funny thing about gardening Stray is that it grows on you.......lol

Good luck with Sunflowers ( maybe you over water them ? ) Hope little man can be tempted into eating his home grown veg. Maybe try getting him to grow a few spuds in a big pot , I bet he wouldn't mind eating them .

Stray is a mass plant murder lol
