Begonia seeds

I shouldnt be let out alone ! I had to go to see the Doctor this morning or believe me I would not have been out ,I was happily waddling through the High Street on the way home with the sleet pounding down when I stupidly looked into Poundstretchers shop window and there was a man setting up all this years garden stuff , did I continue walking by ? no ! in I went for a wee look and out I came several minutes later with a pkt of Geranium seeds , now my hubby doesnt know so dont go telling him or im in big trouble ! if there is one thing I dont need its another packet of seeds , ive just sown them and got them on top of the fish tank to germinate , ive also sown Begonia seeds , they are SO small ! there is 750 seeds in the small tube ,ive never grown them before so plz wish me luck .

Wind Damage

As you probably know Scotland suffered some every strong winds last night , I spent most of the night praying no-one would get hurt , the only casualty we had was my Strawberry Tower , you can probably see from the photo the garden is flooded , but that will soon drain away . I will try and get out this afternoon , weather permitting , and see what I can salvage , oh the joys of gardening !

Happy New Year , Lang may yer Lum Reek !

Well here we are another year has begun , what are we in for this year I ask myself ? One thing for sure, it will not be boring in the Garden ! what a year 2007 was eh ? One tomato I got ! lol, the only consolation I have is I was not alone , I do feel sorry for first timers , all I can say to you is ....give it another go ! I was determind I was not going to go near Tomato plants ever again ..but.. there is nothing to beat walking into your Greenhouse and picking your own fresh Tomatoes and Salad stuff so maybe il just grow a couple of plants , also im going back to the " old faithfulls " for plants . I love Dhalias they never let me down , Marigolds , Lobelia , Rudbeckia and of course Fuchsia .

Ive joined a site called Grows On You ( http://www.growsonyou.com/ ) please take a look at it , its great everyone is so friendly , ive met some fantastic people I would never have met without joining this site , there is a guy called David , he created a Yellow Brick Road theme in his garden for his children , its amazing , I loved following his story all year and cant wait to see what he is going to get up to this year

Well hope you all had a good Christmas and I wish you all Good Health and much Happiness in 2008 , Lang may yer lum reek! (A salutation wishing long life and prosperity. Literally, long may your chimney smoke. )
And of course .......Happy Gardening !!
