Brilliant, Tigerburnie, brightened up a dull afternoon, I have to say!

I enjoyed the video tigerburnie. You're right about those plastic pots! Plastic may be an environmental issue these days but most of us still couldn,t manage without them.

I smiled about your comment about sowing too soon. I think we,ve all been guilty of that in our enthusiasm to get another growing season under way. And sadly some of us (!!) kept repeating the mistake year after year always optimistically thinking we might beat nature! It took me many years to realise that you never can in the long run.
Gardening is certainly a good exercise for developing a philosophical view of life.

Keep the videos coming please!

Well it provides more interest than some of the programmes on the alternative version! (Although I bet the salary doesn't compare with some!)

I love it, as it’s what I call ‘back to basics’, sensible stuff that people can relate to, without all the gimmicky in and out of focus, stupid music and the presenter doing things that are totally impractical….rant over.🙂

Mental note then, don't go mad with the editing software, I can do all that mucking around, but I'd rather not incur the wrath of OH...............lol

Had an hour sat in the greenhouse potting things on, Tomatoes and Peppers that were in cells in the propagator are now in yoghurt pots(minus the yoghurt I should add), back in the frost free conservatory for at least a month I would have thought.
Peas and Sweetpeas are growing, no sign of the early salads yet though.

Sounds just the right sort of restorative therapy to aid your recovery and lift your mood. So good to be pottering and doing something useful!

I can't lift anything, have to only half fill the watering can, but with my tall raised beds I can sit down whilst I'm gardening, just perfect really

It’s great that you can keep doing a little here and there while you recuperate.

Gardening is good for, nearly as good as going fishing, climbing mountains and carrying heavy cameras ....................................
