    What colour is the chimney going to be @Teigr?

    It's really my partners hobby @Zimba, she started doing it last year and loved it. It also gets us both out the house more when the weather is nice. Helps that the veg growing can save on groceries once it's time for harvesting too! 

    @Sandy_123 They're annuals in our climate because they can't survive the winter, but they grow very well from spring all the way to mid-autumn. They come in different colours too! Let me just upload this picture of the other variety of South African daisy she got. It's like a deep-red colour, this also shows how they grow in little bushes. The picture quality isn't the best as I took the picture a little too close to them!
    I grow mine in pots next to a wall,they come back every year and I'll sometimes take cuttings and grow them indoors until they 'toughen up'.

    We put the flowers in our front garden in the ground, but everything else goes in pots except for our berries which are in a side-bed right by the garden fence. We have some strawberry vines, a boysenberry bush and a few vines that are either raspberry or blackberry we can't tell. They just started growing last year so must have been planted before but cut back before we moved in. They don't fruit until their second summer so we'll see this year what we get!

    I know many here might not have heard of boysenberry, I hadn't until I visited the states and my partner told me about them! They're a natural cross hybrid between 4 different berries: raspberry, blackberry, dewberry and loganberry. It's one of my partners favourite berries so she bought a bush and planted it last year. It also doesn't fruit until it's second year so we're looking forward to that this year too!

    Someone should make a gardening thread! Especially with planting season coming up. We can all talk about the different things we're doing :)

    I will pass on the compliment @Zimba! It really helped her mental health last year and she really enjoyed the whole process.

    I don't know much about gardening but I dream of owning a little cottage with a garden as I heard it's really good for mental health :blush:

    I will direct the compliments on to my partner! 

    Thank you @Ada, I've certainly dealt with far worse flares in the past. These usually pass after some time.

    Edit: Seems there are some issues between our web server and cloudflare! Sorry for the inconvenience

    @Jimm_Scope What is cloud fare is it why I keep getting the timeout page come up. 
    Cloudflare is something that a lot of the internet uses to help protect them from malicious attacks trying to bring down websites. It's something like a gate that checks connections before letting them in. Of course if the gate has an issue itself that can mean connections fail like it happening now with our site and many others! Apologies, but there's little I can do myself to fix cloudflare, though since A LOT of the internet runs through cloudflare they will likely be working very hard to fix it fast.
