.... for suggesting a gardening board.
When I was younger I wasn't into gardening even though my parents had a lovely, long garden. We had redcurrant, blackcurrent and gooseberry bushes that I liked picking the fruit from plus we had a pear tree, apple tree plus my parents also grew rhubarb.
The last few years I have enjoyed gardening as I like growing veg and having nice plants.

Ooh fab idea ;D
I've just been sowing sunflower and cosmos seeds this weekend with Isobel

Good idea :) I found gardening really helped me last summer and I'm hoping it'll do the same this year! I have already sown some sweet peas, baby aubergine seeds and some black cornflowers this week and my rhubarb is shooting up inches by the day!! :) xx

Great idea Zaf, thanx so much.
Hubby has an allotment and we also grow veggies in the garden. We have a greenhouse too. I also love my Clematis and Fuschias.
Just planted sweet pea, Dhalia, lobelia and dwarf sunflower.
We will have to post pics up of our plants.

Putting togetther the greenhouse and grasvelling the back garden ready for the veggie plts is one of the last thing my partner and I did before he got depressed and abandoned me. Now it sits empty and forlorn as I cannot bear to look at it.

We have a big veg plot but OH isnt interested in gardening but will help with the heavy lifting etc. when I had my mini breakdown in July I couldnt summon the energy or will power to do anything out there even when the agorophobia was improving.
At last I feel well enough to get back out there and am enjoying sowing and planting again, I doubt if I'll do as much as usual with it this year but it'll be lovely to have some fresh vegs.
When I get back from our week away I'll take some pcs :)

I understand that Bewildered. This post triggered me as well.
I used to garden at my ex's house. I loved it.

yeah even after all these months I am finding it very difficult...esp now taht the weather has turned. My partner and I were all about the outdoors and i feel like I will just cry if I go out there and try and enjoy it.

What a wonderful idea, gardening is one of the things that seems to improve my mood (when i can bear to pull myself off the sofa) When things improve i shall show you all my lovely garden.
