My dad spent a fortune every year on seeds. It was obviously worth it as he won the local flower show several years in a row in his younger days. It was sad to see the garden declining in his latter years. Sadly, I don't have his green fingers or love for gardening.

I like to hear of someones enthusiasm for a certain hobby/pursuit :okay: I think i was probably put of gardening as a kid when asked to do some weeding...not appealing to a youngster. Later i got to like it and its a chance to be creative. Give it a go Mo you might get into it ^_^

No thanks. My back can't cope with it. I used to cycle over to visit dad and find him struggling away so I would spend an hour bending down picking up weeds and sticking young cabbages, cauliflowers, leeks, etc in the ground for him but it hurt!

Wife's birthday today - her mother had a thing for saint's days - my sister-in-law was born on Valentine's day!

Anyway - card done - presents found (I often loose them) and wrapped

grandkid sitting this afternoon followed by meal out in local pub

Oh - and cake sorted for grandkids to 'help' with - not sure of the baby is allowed any but as his parents will be at work I'm sure he won't tell on us!!! (although th e9 year old sister may be a different story!!!)

Brings back memory's of my childhood, my father loved gardening and growing crops, I hated it, he would come in and grab me by the arm and tell me to do weeding, I told him I didn't like gardening his reply was, and I can still hear it today “no but you'll bloody well eat it”......we didn't get on :sad:
