    Hi M yes picking things up slow but sure lots of knowledge on the forum :) many thanks for the information, they don't take long to come on then,

    Last year my two main mistakes was putting things out to early and not keeping up with killing the slugs two good lessons learnt, having said that ive just put a few sunflowers out ive put them in a sheltered spot and hope there ok, I do have 150 in reserve :heehee:,

    These will be going in fresh soil in a sunny spot so lets hope I get plenty of bloom :).

      Hi, a bit of a change of plan, decking at the top of the steps now fixed and one row of paving to continue across the front.

              Hi, cut it down to the size and oiled it for protection, I need to see how it shadows in the sun if its not too bad i will put a waterproof top on it, up to now its cost £20 and that's using new wood I need to pick some more up to finish it.

                                :)
                                Thank you Lynd, actually that what we had for tea well a nice B.E.S.T :-)

                                :hate-shocked::redface: :heehee: Thank you M, I have another one to make for the other side of the steps, at least I have a template now


                                Thank you Sheal, I still have lots to do inside and out but it will be nice to grow all my own stuff, I am wanting to grow something special in the GH I am unsure what yet but I guess whatever I choose will be time consuming.

                                :heehee: that's you and @Anthony Rogers on the list :)


                                Thank you Beckie :)
