You been drinking?
I suggest you only post when sober from now on - your threads are becoming a little disturbing...

Plant in the ground/pots then, they don't drain anywhere near as fast :)

I LOVE gardening its good for my soul. I'm not keen on the muck bit, but my gardens usually look ace in the summer..until the dog tramples on all my efforts. I have to do the gardens as my gran comes and tells me off otherwise...shes a real Percy Thrower. And full of useful hints and tips for keeping my garden tip top

My chili plants are still (slowly) growing- a couple have died since the repot.
But it's very exciting.
In.
Slow.
Motion.

As a 22 year old male I feel like the BMW GS should be on order....
On its way:
Salad
'matoes
Purple carrots
It's strangely meditative

I hate growing stuff....
use to help my father with his olotment.. hated digging for potatoes with vengence... as well as having to turn the earth over to weed it and clean it after....
though will admit, you cant beat fresh veg :)
the nearest thing Ive done to grow stuff recently is look after the plants in my dads green house ! though, I will only eat tomatoes which have been grown at home, they taste sooo different to that crap at supermarkets !

We're both ex-manc engineers, so it doesn't bode well ;)

I remember years of dealing with my mothers plants, and the pleasure just was never there like you say. You need to be their (the plants) daddy first ;)

when me and maria lived in our flat at uni, one of the things we liked doing was cutting the grass and tending to the garden on a nice warm sunny day
:D
