We have a tiny garden, despite the fact my husband the professional gardener has large estates for which he is responsible some with whole walled gardens dedicated to veg.

This year however I am determined to get veg growing anywhere I can and I mean that. So I will be the mad woman with veg in her front garden as well as anywhere I can squeeze in the back. Brought up in a large house with a very large garden sometimes I find it hard to come to terms living in my housing association house with my stupidly small garden especially as we are in the middle of the bloody countryside! I can see some terrorist gardening starting something which is becoming popular in London and other big cities. Oh the joy of seeing a few tomotoes pop up on the village green ha ha..

Loving your snail pictures even though I totally understand why you don’t. Please get chickens and then I could come and pretend to virtually garden veronica. We kept chickens as a child I love chickens. Not so much that I won’t eat one of my own though. I remember a previous post on chickens and can’t remember why you don’t have them at the moment.
Totally understand the need to come here to get away from all that p***za stuff. Note didn’t type ‘that’ word!

Can’t ask other half about slug stuff he is always asleep of an evening. Having slaved away the day to keep this old crip in the manner I have become accustomed ha ha I seem to remember my father marching round the garden in pj’s and a torch murdering the poor defenceless vegetable eating stealing chomping gits. it amazes me that they move so slowly yet can cause so much carnage and eat SO much. The only other thing I can recall is beer so that they get so drunk etc… our dog likes beer so we couldn’t do that and its illegal in this country to get one’s dog inebreiated! My grandmother did something awful with salt but the results were gruesome. I’m off truly – anyway its your fault Veronica you will keep posting!!

So nice to see beautiful tomatoes when everything is frozen over in my part of the world. Love your snail.

I'd rather have my garden with not much in it at the mo – kids and footballs equal no point in trying to do too much in it just yet!
