J* guess what my favourite programme is? easy.

Only a Plum tree which was here when I moved in.
Still have some frozen from last year but not much blossom this year and the late frosts got most of it!

Do you have other hobbies?

J* I have just started with my garden, there was nothing here when I moved in, got a nice Buddlia growing in the corner though.

Stan the TV is dire tonight, wanted a good folm but no.

Do you like films?

Jan yes I have had to build a cage over raspberries to keep birds off.
What fruit have you got?

Generally prefer radio to TV! Only have small screen don't like it to dominate room.

What do you enjoy watching?

Yes,people used to have back yards ,now it's a patio.

So theres nothing on telly?

I have a patch of contrete outside patio doors with coloured themed tubs for colour themed flowers to complement room!

Do you have fruit bushes/trees in your garden?

No, I've got a few flags near the kitchen door.

Does that count?

At least your having a go

Have you got a patio?

No one likes tomatoes here. A neighbour gave me some sprout plants to grow and me and my little girl planted them, I think it took the slugs 3 days to eat them, and the ate my lettuce but they didn't get my strawbery plant, I put it on the wall in a pot and got about..oh 4 strawberries off it.

Not very good am I?

Depends what you grow I grow lots of onions and shallots which I pickle .The grandkids love them.
What do your kids like?

I think growing veg is easy just mind the slugs they like young green shoots!

It's easy to grow cherry tomatoes in patio pots.
Will you give it a try?

Don't mind doing a bit in the nice weather other than that I don't enjoy it.
Stan I'm not engrossed in something on the TV tonight that's why.

Is growing veg easy?

My Mother used to grow Night Scented Stocks.
I grow veg and freeze as much as poss for use during winter - dig up a bit more 'lawn' each year!
My address area - down south - is part of my board name!

Do you enjoy gardening?

As its name says it only smells at night,plant it by an open window.

Yes the same time whats gone wrong?

It might do, the youngest one likes to help but the eldest one just tramples the grass, gosh we are on here at the same time...a miracle Lol.

What is night scented stock? Bit thick woth plants me.

Get the kids involved give them some seeds to plant.
Night scented stock is an easy one.
Do you think that will work?

Mainly grass seeds, the kids keep running about and making my lawn bald, sunflower seeds for my daughter but not had much luck there. I've got some cotton plant seeds, might try them.

What do you think?

runner beans (grow lots)

What seeds do you throw about

sorry Hi Karen

No idea Stan, not very good at gardening, I just throw seeds in the general direction of the soil and hope for the best.

Whats your favourite veg?
