Oh thank you posh kate xx
Remember to add water regularly - apparently plants like the stuff.
1. Get some one in to do it for you. lol gives you more time for shagging
2. Anchor down well the greenhouse you have bought!! :lol:
I'm just waiting for the frosts to go away before I put my pansies out.
Plim wink
get a nice strapping lad to come and do it nakid for you ....but mind the thorn bushes lol
Let part of your garden grow wild. Brambles, Stinging Nettles etc. You'll be astonished at the variety of wildlife that will start to appear. Different bugs, spiders, moths and butterflies. These you can enjoy for their own sakes but also for the different birds and small mammals that they will attract. Also, you'll appreciate the colourful diversity of 'weeds'.
Sink a bucket into the ground and fill it with water. Put a water loving plant into your 'instant' pond. After a while you'll notice water beetles, water snails, little frogs and toads in your bucket. Adding pond or stream water speeds up this process.
Be wary of letting your whole garden turn wild though. (As I have done). It then becomes a massive task to turn it around again. But having a wild section is a true delight.
Enjoy yourself.

You are so right. A small pile of logs attracts all sorts of interesting beasts.
Although I love the sight of a veg plot with regimented rows of produce.

My own tip is, don't ask Cicero what he uses as fertiliser!

Oh! And don't forget to feed them as well - well rotted bull-shit from the forums or chatrooms works quite well...rotflmao
Cocky are you going to grow those rude shaped carrots & potatoes that the supermarkets dont sell???
Cant beat a carrot that has grown a `willy` lol
If you make your own wine or beer let it brew in the green house. Plants love CO2, yeast give off CO2.

Yes! That reminds me. Have a good couple of compost heaps. If you can stomach it don't waste your wee by flushing it down the loo. Do it in a bucket and mix it half wee half water. Pour this on the compost heap. It will break the compost down beautifully along with turning. If you can really stomach it, build yourself a compost toilet. At its simplest, this would be a deep hole in the ground that you would poo into and cover with the earth spoil. After about 4 years you'd have the most gorgeous compost for your garden. Though maybe not for the veg. patch!! But, very important, don't mix the wee and the poo. Keep them apart or it'll start to pong.
Happy gardening lol
do you have a good paper shop near you? or supermarket that sells magazines?
there is a great magazine called kitchen garden - has free seeds and great articles smile

Wow thanks guys n gals for all your replys yes will try and remember the water food warmth and stuff yeah dunno about the pee and pooo though but yeah, set some seeds today got loads more to do then just wait I guess lol Cocky xx
Have a word with Mistress39 - she's a fab gardener and her tomatoes are gorgeous :lickface:
her melons are pretty damn stunning too :twisted:
decide on what you eat veg wise and grow them, the usual, toms, cucumber,pots,carrots in a tub for space,lettuce,sweet peas on a cane wigwam. a small herb garden goes really well and if feeling adventures a chilli plant. hope you enjoy your green fingers and good luck.
I'm afraid my fingers are more brown and mouldy than green, but we have had great success in growing compost from household food scraps! has lots of info on that, and our local council did a deal on cheap composters so might be worth checking with them too. :thumbup:
I have a distinction in horticulture and massage if you need any help in the garden.
I helped someone on here recently with an overgrown bush and an anal sphincter problem.
Its all in the fingers-green ones, that is!
I have a full size and a half size allotment. i started with the half pinter, then 3 years later got the full size.
usually they come after a long period of misuse. so you need to think simple and DEEP. that is prepare the soil more than use it. so for the first 2 years just dig and get used to working on the plot. you can grow spuds and roots; stuff like that. keep the weeds down etc . plant easy things first and find out what actually grows in the soil you have. then build on that.
but don't do too much in one go. stop when you are tired. don't work when its wet or cloggy. make it enjoyable not a thing of hardship.
try here theres plenty of info in there as well for good advice on growing flowers and veg in your garden or on an allotment

and heres another also you are able to find allotments by council area

enjoy
Lot's and lots of day-light flourescents, and use the basement, not the attick. Police helicopters use a lot of heat sensitive cameras now when searching for crims on the run, and an interesting by-product is being able to spot the heat signatures of peoples loft-gardens.

Also vent the cellar-garden into next door's basement. It'll be pretty warm and humid and you don't want mould do you. You may need to knock a few bricks out for that - do it when they are at work or away for a few days. Then if the rozzers come round they will break into the nice old couple next door. Having thoroughly embarrased themselves they will leave, promising to fix the nice old couple's door.

The Basement-Gardener could also offer to assist the Authorities in any way they can, thereby building a nice and gentle reputation as a local stalwart of the community.
