I wont sow so many tomato or cucumber plants.  I hated the thought of throwing them out so I planted in the garden, planted two to a pot.  It's like day of the triffids in my little plastic greenhouse.

I see a common thread here!   

I had a terrible time with my squash germination last year and this year ended up with over 60 assorted cue, courgette and squash plants.     Still, at least they didn't go to waste as they were distributed between fellow garden club members and a local allotment society (as were, er, a 'good number' of tomato plants). 

I won't ever think 'this new compost smells a bit funny' and then continue to use it, leading to almost no surviving climbing french beans (or essentially anything else potted in it).  I now suspect that it was either last years stock or contaminated in some way and will go somewhere with high turnovers in future. 

I won't, in a fit of boredom, think "I know, I'll get all those Oca potted up to give them a head start" again, leaving me trying to re-home 70 thriving Oca plants (plus, of course, a large part of my pot stache).

Ah, it's a learning process isn't it?

This year I made the newbie mistake of selecting a pepper plant type that "sounded" good, as opposed to one that was suitable for my climate. The result? Not a single pepper on five plants 

Next year I'll have to investigate what will actually do well in my area, maybe king of the north?

I grow peppers on the windowsill, I thought they wouldn't grow outside here.

After giving him a fruiting wax pepper plant - I just said to my neighbour that I'll be cutting down on the seed sowing next year - he said " you said that last year"

 

So no hope for me then

My problem is that I can't stand the sight of fallow ground and just keep on planting and sowing to use it up

[barley]

I thought my packet of tomatoe seeds were going mouldy so planted the whole packet
all 150 plants germinated 

I was a bit tight for green house space for a while 

I donated them to the dog rescue charity plant stall

my dad ordered a nice new sit on mower costing best part of £1000.00 from the internet - he forgot to check how big the wheel widths were

IT WOULDN'T FIT THROUGH HIS GATE !!!!!

He now has my  10 year old  smaller mower with smaller wheels and I am the proud owner of the nice new £1000.00 shiny red one - cheers dad !!!!!

I won't ever suggest I'm going to give up trying to grow incredibly expensive all-female F1 cucumbers from seed in the greenhouse because I know I'm telling porkies, although the actual pork recipe might be different next year.

I grow peppers on the windowsill, I thought they wouldn't grow outside here.

Original intention was to keep them indoors, but they got too big and I couldn't find floor space with enough sunlight. Again, it's down to picking the wrong variety for my climate. I'll have to find an early one that is happy on a windowsill next year.

Strangely enough, the red sweet pepper plant I bought from Aldi seems quite happy outdoors. It's coated in decent sized peppers. Especially the yellow chilli. No idea what their varieties are.

Basically all the pepper plants I grew from seed have done terrible, the bought varieties are the only ones I've actually harvested off.

I reckon that all these all female cuces are a con, Jay!

They all gang up on us, as is normal, and eventually we get blamed for the poor performance!

Paaaah!

I will never store 6kg of Red Currants in one large freezer bag.  It was a nightmare trying to get a 2kg load.  In the end I had to break up the entire lump and rebag.  From now I use 1kg bags.

haha that is funny.

I won't ever paint the Patch and Plot sheds red again!

Mrs G complains every time we go down there, and even now, I have to re-paint the shed at home again, to get it brown again!

It was Mahogany red, not signal, but it has the same effect...

But hey, the paint was in a sale and very cheap..;0)

[Beetroot queen]

Tell my dad he should get a plot next to ours  he is clueless about weeding and planting and we can NEVER escape

[surbie100]

Grow aubergines.

They are huge plants, thugging about in my culticave, with not a flower amongst them.
