I was in Wyevale garden centre (Crowland, nr Peterborough) today and they have a seed sale on. All seeds, flowers, veg, herbs etc are 50P a packet. All well known brands like suttons, unwins & thompson and morgan. I spent £8.50 and I've got over £35 worth according to the prices on the back of t...

Thank you all very much for your replies! The wealth of knowledge present on this bored never ceases to amaze me! I now have a rough idea in my mind of what I want to grow and how I’m going to lay it all out and I’ll try committing it to paper today. From the look at what’s left at the end of the pl...

After about 6 months on the waiting list I have now been assigned an allotment just round the corner from me. It’s actually a half plot but that’ll do just fine for starters.

As it’s about time to start planting I need to buy my seeds.

Maybe we should start a SS dating service!

Or maybe more practical would be a register of people looking to meet others (for friendship, romance or free loan of garden tools) in their area.
