What a fabulous group for me to come across!!

Oh what a great group to find!

I am what I call a "I'll do it in a minute" gardener. This means I am full of good intentions but never get around to doing whatever needs doing. Result....one bedgragled looking garden!

A few months ago I decided to rip my garden to bits and gave everything that was a staying a severe haircut. The bushes that were going go dug up and put on the council compost heap. I had a bay tree that I go with no more than 7 leaves on a few years back that was now 6ft tall. Sadly we forgot to dig the roots up and here it comes again. See, something else I never go around to doing!

Well, today saw me get my self ready to plant up some beetroot and runner beans. Have I done it? Course not!! I have been out there, hung the washing out, brushed the dog, read a magazine, inspected the roses and come in. Well, I have the seeds so that's a start :)

Well, I am a bit of a newbie to gardening, so any tips would be useful, especially in the roses department. You sound like a very adventurous gardener (by that, I mean vegetables....).

A few years back I shared an allottment plot with a friend. We used to go over there and just laugh...how on earth we ever grew anything I shall never know. The plot was covered in bindweed!
