3: Gardening Diaries ...

I was given about 50kg of compost and same in worm castings and four walnut trees the guy that gave them to me was fab was talking to him for ages
My grow lights came yesterday so very excited

I so want a walnet tree and a pecan tree. I grew one pecan from nut and it came up to 8 inches and I knocked it off by mistake. Now I have a chestnut tree growing somewhere!

Glad that you have formed a good network of friends! How much does that lovely light cost you and please upload a pic when it's ready. Those castings are serious business. I never bothered to buy the tiger worms as they said they are already in my compost bin. In fact, I have neglected my wormery for a long time. Going to get another estate agent to come and get another quote!

Wonder if there is another Sparky available in Essex?!

The light system was expensive including bulbs just under £200 but I have been selling plants and other bits and bobs to fund it lol
I’m going to set two systems up for the worms one for compost the other for the liquid (worm pee)

Morning!
Hope you're feeling better this morning @alp
Thanks @alp ....can't believe it!!! Me and photographs aren't normally a good combination!!!! As you all can probably tell!!!

Another lovely morning , sun is just glinting through the trees. Still not certain what are plans are for today yet

If we end up not going to Dorset then I will tackle another border, .

Oh!!! Just had a text......friends are still there , so we are going after all

Gosh @Leeski .....you certainly tackle all aspects of gardening!! Well done for giving things a go.....looking forward to reading your progress posts very much.

My Dad planted a walnut when he was a small boy ....it eventually took over my grandparents small garden. It was still there when my Nan died at the age of 86!!. Haven't been past since as this was up in London but there was building works going on at the time, so doubt that it's still there now.

Have a great day everyone!!

Crikey - you've done well! Have you sold them on the market by tagging to your friend? Well done! Why not if you can fund it and enjoy the process of it!?

You're an inspiration, @Leeski !

Same old, same old. The air issue is a boring and daily struggle. Had an hour of ebac. Is probably still on! Hope you have a change of scenery and yes, that is a lovely photo! Hurrah and well snapped!

I over priced them in the first place

Haha! Sneaky thing! Some of them were going @£1 in Bonnett! Such a lovely place - top of the hill with panoramic view. Unfortunately, not a lot of plants. I have tried to register, but I don't have a mobile phone with data. I use pay as you go. £10 is still going after 5 years! LOL!

Yes, ideal weather for weeding, @Logan ! If only I can find my weedkiller!

Same as me @alp......good old pay as you go

 

[alp]

Funny how we both made a typo! Yes, I'm with 3. I googled and they said 3 was the cheapest mum's phone! So there we are. But I might get a bit of data if I can sell something!

 

[alp]

Ah, Shpock has sent me a link and I think I'm in! Start selling, but do they charge? LOL!
