Gardening!

love the pics! Trying to grow some stuff inside, but I just cannot seem to, I don't have space outside for a garden, so a small inside one would work, any help is welcomed =)

Hanging baskets, I've got herb shelves outside backdoor on wall! I've also go macramé pot holders which could go in window sill. Could you explain why the indoor ones are not successful? Why don't you buys plugs( little plants) instead. We bought lettuce, tomatoes etc as plugs. Really any container can be used in any window, hung or on sill. Depends onmwhat you are trying to grow?

I've got loads of roses, anyone else! A bit of rain today!

I have mini roses that im trying to grow, and a butterfly bush, well starting it for outside, then just a few house plants, some are ok others just wont grow they keep dying,

Try to keep to the hardier plants and you should be fine. I've had disasters but I shrug my shoulders and replace until I've got it right. Houseplants die with me yet outdoors ones, mostly, survive. Trial and error!

I don't have a veg garden started yet. However, I do have strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb, 2 gooseberry bushes, 3 great apple trees and some herbs. Here are a few picts from last year.

Is this an off list thread? I was thinking of starting a gardening thread but was beaten to it. Nice to see some familiar names here.

Our garden is my wife's pride & joy and rightly so. Some pics herewith. Passers-by comment on the lawn. It's nice to have a front garden which hasn't been turned into a parking space.

Our front wall was built to my design. I constructed a decking in our back garden as a retirement project. We are enjoying eating or sitting out, weather permitting!

Mow once a week? I wish! Ours get cut every 4 days :(. Probably because of the weed&feed :!

I used the iPF app to upload (or is it download? Well attach) photos stored on my iPad. There is an Attachments button in the new reply window.

We have foxes too. They sit and watch us when we try to shoo them off. I don't mind them, but my wife not that much. We are getting more birds now. I think we have a wren. A couple of thrushes and blackbirds, and a great tit. Starlings vist as do magpies and the occasional Jay. Parakeets are our new dawn chorus as they fly out to feeding areas
