Martin B Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Today I have been gardening for my grandma and grandad as unfortunately they are no longer able to keep it as nice as they used to. I was at there house for 10 this morning and got home at about 7:45, so I'm quite tired now. However tomorrow I am developing my "mini garden" the section has been given to mee to keep my chooks on and put some plants into. I'm going to be planting some strawberries, tomatos and also some potatos via the barrel method. I'll have to make the area chook-proof. Without this forum I'd never have got back to growing veg, like I did when I was little. So thanks everyone. I'm heading for mini self-sufficency. Growing my own food and collecting the eggs! Thanks Everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Martin, you are good helping your grandma and grandad with the gardening. I bet they really appreciate that. Good luck with growing your own vegetables. I'm sure you will find it very rewarding. Let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Lucky you Martin, for getting paid all that money. I don't get paid anything for working really hard in the garden all day. My parents manage that situation rather well and their excuse is that I do it for 'MY OWN SATISFACTION'. Cheeky lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
