    I've sown about 300 seeds, some of them being Dwarf Cosmos, but I tend to 3 gardens, so I'll spread them about the 3.

      Nice one FM :goodpost: the next bug you will be catching is the seed catalogue compulsion.Ticking off the ones you want for the following year,then the greenhouse isn't big enough then the garden is to small.:stirpot::lunapic 130165696578242 5:
      Propagation from cuttings is good fun as well,when you visit people just ask for a cutting of anything you dont have worry about where its going to fit in later!:hapydancsmil:
      Between keeping over 30 chickens and trying to be self sufficient with vegetables but loving growing plants of all types I could with borrowing a few fields!:loll:

          Good one Nick, think I started about 7 years old with Radishes & Beetroot. Carefull once you start, you can't stop, but at least Gardening is much less likely to kill you:dbgrtmb:

                I hope you don't think I was having a go at you Nick, that wasn't my intention. I was pointing out, that with gardeners the first thing to suffer is usually our backs. :)

                I know you've had a difficult past and think it's fantastic that you've turned your life around. It's amazing how therapeutic gardening is......but expensive as you're finding out. :)

                8 years clean and sober on June the 4th, great stuff!! That just happens to be my birthday! We can celebrate together. :dbgrtmb:

                  We're all behind you, Nick, with the gardening and everything else, Mate.:thumbsup::biggrin: It's been so good to see how you've taken to gardening and are enjoying it so much.......in fact we're getting enjoyment out of you getting enjoyment!!!:snork:

                  Actually, gardening is only expensive as you want it to be.:snork: You've thrown yourself into your gardening as few people do. You've got some great ideas and the ability to carry them out and, believe me, we all "rooting" for you. Just don't burn yourself out, pal, by doing too much in too short a time. Take your time and enjoy it, and you'll also find that your original ideas tend to change somewhat as you go along, I know mine did!!. :biggrin:
