    @Wibbles … maybe you could get something like this made up ?# AI generated Image

    2 x 1 timber would do the same. If you were close I'd knock it up for you

    @vikingqueen … I've grown dwarf french beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and spring onions in pots and troughs succesfully. Peppers and chillies not so much success but others do.

    Just remember to feed and water regularly.

    I've got to grow runner beans in pots this year. Got to being the order 😝

    Oo thank you @michael57 @Rosie_Scope and @WelshBlue, I might give it a go. I've got a sunny backyard so fingers crossed.

    PS I have been known to kill dandelions 🙄😅

    I had a neighbour who grew dandelions for the birds in his aviary … everyone loved him when the fairies were flying everywhere 😂

    @vikingqueen … beetroots are good in troughs … young leaves lovely and flavoursome in salads

    I would suggest paying a local grass cutter, hassle free and a well spent £20 a time.

    Got some cute new gardening gloves today so thought I'd share.

    Hoping for a bit nicer weather so I can put them into practice this weekend.

    I'm far from a gardening pro, but i do find it therapeutic. Starting to see a lot more colour in the garden 🌺

    Cute gloves @Holly_Scope 😀

    No matter what I'm doing I can't wear gloves. With missing digits on both hands they just flap around and get in the way 😂

    Cutting them off is counter-productive … the empty fingers and thumb … not actual digits.

    But actually losing the real things is counter-productive. I've confused myself 😯

    Thanks @WelshBlue 😊

    You nearly lost me there too, it doesn't take much to confuse me though. 😂 Yeah, that's really not practical and probably more likely to have an accident 😬 There's nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty in the garden anyway!

    @michael57 That farm yard manure you called it, it must have some heat in the middle; I thought i was approaching a fire tonight, but it was the FYM steaming away to itself! 🐄

    I saw a worker in a tractor on Sunday night, he was turning it over with forks on the front of his machine. I suppose they are planning on spreading it soon? This is old hat to you, but I never paid much attention other than hauling produce! Maybe he can sell some to that excitable farmer in Kent? ( He who was on Newsnight last week). 💩

    Haha some of the best fertilizer is human waste injected into the ground but then you get the micro plastics contamination again

    Treated human waste i hope? The poor people of North Korea are meant to be infested with tapeworm, because they have to use human waste; in fact they have to collect it and have it weighed. Theft among neighbours isn't uncommon.

    And my petunia plugs

    @michael57 … beautiful colours on the Aqueligia

    I've only got self seeded ones in my garden, the purples and wish they'd last longer, such a pretty flower

    The white dianthus is nice too … not a lover of pink 'pinks' or pink flowers in general … except saxifraga. Love the daintiness of them

    One has to let the boss have a few plants she likes and they do smell lovely
