Welcome to the official opening of Granddads' shed

Oh that's good, very pleased. I haven't run away or anything. Have gone camping for a few days and iPad coverage is not good. It has given me lots of time to read Room though.

Else hope you enjoyed your camping Biker is going to organise a virtual camping trip for us all, keep your eyes open for the details!

That sound like fun, you can borrow our motorhome but give me time to clean it out won't you? How does this work and are we going abroad?

I need more lots n lots of

I'll fax you a few samples of homemade biker. Hope it doesn't splash on the way through!

Back from holiday and the motorhome has survived but I am sorry the auxiliary battery overheated so camping is out for a while.

I am feeling all angry inside today so thought I would pop in here to do some therapeutic re-potting. Any other stuff you would like me to do?

What's up, else? Anything we can help with?

I'm sure we can find some weeding for you to do. Let your anger out, we will listen.

My shoulders are aching from hacking rhododendrons and shredding yesterday and the day before so I'm quite glad it's pouring down today so I can have a break from that. Had to go and sweep the ground gutter that runs past our back door this morning though, so that the water flowing down the brae (side of mountain) where we live can flow past and into the drain rather than under the door and into the scullery. It's not a terrible problem if it does run inside because the floor is concrete and there's a drain in the middle, but it's preferable to just have a shallow 'moat' to rinse our wellies in just outside the door. Bet no-one else has to do this — not even that MP who claimed moat-cleaning on his expenses!

Sorry Baggy I didn't spot your kind response. I think it was mostly down to frustration over soon to be ex son in law and poorly hip. I am much happier now, the potting helped.

No porb, else. Glad you're feeling better.

I mean prob.

Has anyone got something light hearted to discuss, we have a lot of deep meaningful threads on the go atm. I find myself with such mixed personal views on these, I cannot contribute anything constructive.

ho pomps, I mean hi pomps! I think we all have mixed views on lots of things. Say your bit on those threads, please. The more the merrier. Even if we don't all reach the same conclusion, or any conclusion at all, the discussion can be interesting.

I'm a bit cheesed off with jangly this morning for being such a kill-joy. Right now I'm resisting the temptation to shout at her. It's quite a hard tempttion to resist.

I'm going to plant some flowers soon 'cos all I've been doing is veggies, and himself reckons they are so healthy they give him the runs!!!

My veggie garden is fenced off from the dog, with a gate I found in a dumpster. I got the posts from next-door's renovation throw-outs, and another neighbour gave me the chicken wire as she had no more use for it. The area contains a chicken run, a recycled wardrobe, on its side, pretending to be a large planter, an old metal single bed, with recycled planks along the base, and polystyrene seed raising boxes on it. The old dressing table is in the garden shed, housing tools and cockroaches. Oh and there's an old metal shop counter frame, with chicken wire mesh attached, as another huge planter. The wardrobe door sits on two discarded stereo speakers, and acts as a table for some more polystyrene plant boxes.

I guess it is more bedroom than veggie garden, and even has it's veggie porn moments. Honest! In summer when my pumpkins are in flower, I can be seen in my old nightie early in the morning with a soft paintbrush in my hand, fertilising the pumpkins in case the bees don't come

I'd love to see your allotment, joan! It sounds like my kind of place. Could you post some photos, perhaps?

Joan, I love the idea of old furniture as garden containers, painted bright colours they would look great. When it comes to sex in the garden, does size matter ???, or will any size paint brush do ?

Size matters of course - it has to be long and thin enough to go right in, but with enough bristles to pick up the pollen....

Oh, and I'll try to get some photos organised.
