I wonder if that's why me Dad's veg was so good when we were younger. I know that beer is good for growing leeks but you have to drink it first.

Honestly, I could not see the point of gardening when I was drinking.

Hmmm... I'd love to grow my own veggies. I was brought up on a small farm... we had fields of veggies and potatoes. And my grandfather had a plot where he grew pretty much everything that wasn't in the fields... he had the proverbial "green thumb". 'Tis in the blood, so it is! ;o)

Now me wee wheels are whirring. How big are those pots you grow in Jacks n Mollers?

In my bad spells, I couldn't see the point in doing ANYTHING. It was an effort to cook, and I love cooking. :upset: I'd suffer my way through what needed to be done on a sporadic basis... that pretty much sums it up.

And if ye tried gardening under the influence in the heat and humidity here ye'd be getting carted orf by the paramedics. You get so over heated doing yard work in the summer that you're seeing stars in front of your eyes.

Me too Jacks - big fancy dinners every evening - went overboard sometimes and they'd be eating the leg of the table waiting :H

How did you know?! LMAO!

Yoo Hooooo Satzeroo!!!

Here is what I was thinking about as I don't have a plethora of pots. In fact I don't even have one empty one as I had to crack the Dessert Rose out of it's old one this morning. And to buy all them pots would be awful expensive.

With my "deck experience" this thing would be a doddle. Just half this size i reckon...

Exactly. They'd have been happier with a Pot Noodle and a sober mother.

Now I'm going to admit something here I even paid a small fortune for a Deflt china cream jug and butter dish, coz it lewks posh on the table.

The house Jilly's renting has raised beds in the back garden just like that Zenners, I'm dead jealous of them -- they use railway sleepers here to make them usually - but they're dead expensive, and dead heavy as well!!

There seems to be a theme here... all four of us could cook whilst trolleyed... The clean up afterwards is where my level of inebriation became apparent! :H

It would be cheap enough to build Mollers... a few bits of treated 2x6, 4x4s for the corners and some screws. No need for a base... just sit the frame on the ground.

Our back garden is the size of a postage stamp.
I do feel sorry for Mr Satz he has it lovely but a bigger garden would be great for him.
I often thought of renting him out to do bigger gardens - he LOVES gardening so much !

I'm not great for order either... I don't like a schedule. A bit hit and miss with bursts of energy and apathy... lol

What's giving you the glums Mollers... can you put your finger on it?
