    Hello, its only this year that I have taken the plunge and started to decorate my back yard with container plants. I quite surprised myself at the display I achieved. Even grew some pea pods from dried marrowfat peas. Not enough for even one meal but it gave me so much satisfaction to see them grow, pick a pod and nibble on the tiny sweet tasting pea within.

    So pleased to have found a forum I can wander through and pick up tips. I am a retired lady and look forward to being a member of the forum.

    Kind regards and happy growing.
