    Looking great! Your decking is fantastic, as is your recycled swing - what a kind donation!Hopefully they are right about the hot summer we're supposed to be getting! :gnthb:

    This weekend I have managed to plant up my veggie patch and have filled my little 4 tier plastic greenhouse with my planted seeds. We have also managed to cut the grass as it was getting a little out of hand lol. I didn't do much as I was quite tired this weekend

    I think spring is my favourite season, with seeds germinating, trees waking up and the first proper rush of flowers its a magical time with a promise of things to come. Its supposed to be a hotter drier summer, so get your table & chairs ready.

    I'll be interested to know how you get on with that multi-tier Strawberry planter (assuming you'd got Strawbs in it?)

    I've got one, and I've never been able to do much with it :( but the pictures on the manufacturer's web site look totally AMAZING !! :( :( :(
