I and several other bloggers are suffereing.<BR/><BR/>Yes I did offer you some ideas for gardening club. They're 'things to make' ideas e.g. plant labels, painted pots, christmas decorations that kind of thing that I cut out from magazines.

I've chosen to look to next year as well as there are only grams full of vegis comming out of my plot. I counted my gooseberries before they were grown this year.<BR/>My mum said even the chemical boys down at her site are complaining that it is a bad year (they have had far too much rain in Wales)<BR/>Chin up the good thing about gardening is there is always next year, conditions will be different - weather, time, and enthusiasm may be more favourableRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860482761465954204noreply@blogger.com
