Helloooooo from Cornwall

Post: # 156907Post windy »

Hello all, my name's Windy. Passionate (but haphazard) gardener, mum to 3 spawns, 2 cats and a Chameleon named after a serial killer. Slightly warped, overworked, often stressed, happiest with bum in air and hands in soil :mrgreen: Been gardening for years but only started with veg 2 years ago....with rubbish results so far :cry: Blight, slugs, snails, rubbish soil, gale force winds ( I specialise in horizontal onions :lol: ) But am I downhearted?? No!! Currently in the process of diggin up me front garden for more veg..a la Good Life. Think I look more like Tom than Barbara...where did I put those denim dungarees? :lol:
It's funny how such a ruthless and sadistic maniac such as Vyvyan should care for a Begonia.

Horizontal onions. Why not. At the moment my sunflowers are horizontal... :sunny:

Thanks for the great welcome guys :wink:

Well he's called The Son of Sam but we affectionately refer to him as 'the lizard' (I wanted to call him Ted Bundy but was outvoted by the spawns :salute: So I'm savin that name for whatever decides to live with us next...the spawns should think they had a lucky escape when I named em :lol: )
Here he is in all his grumpy glory....
Image He's the love of my life...well, after Mr.Merlot :lol:

He's 16 months old now...I got him when he was 5weeks and 2-3" long. Now he's around a foot long nose to end of tail and can shoot a cricket with his tongue about 8" away :lol: He likes to come out of his viv and climb about the lounge and can often be found on the curtain pole :lol:
