planted the first things we have grown from seed in the greenhouse, courgettes and pumpkins, we dug them a lovely bed and put them in - hoping the wind does kill them!

That's sad -  what did they do wrong  :(............. :D

All I did today was carry watering cans  ::)

oh god the grammar police have got me! it's a fair cop! i correct to .....hope the wind DOESN'T get them!

...

my final post due to grammar bullies

Personally I'd ignore them or go out of my way to make sure I put is some errors just to annoy them  :tongue2:... not that it's hard for me  ;)

I think from the smilie face it was said jokingly, but I don't mind people picking me up on typo's, makes me think a bit more next time!  :D

my fingers and brain work at different speeds, you wouldn't think I was a secretary for 25 years would you?   :lol: :lol:

Absolutely Grannie, it was tongue in cheek but...

It's nothing to do with grammar Mick  ::)

It's a question of meaning - does and doesn't mean completely the opposite.  Both ways are perfectly good grammatically.

shouldn't that be 'Both ways are grammatically perfectly good'?  (split infinitive?)  :D

Last night i harvested our first spring cabbage, and picked at least a dozen strawberries, some as big as golf balls - YES they were delicious. More watering and just a little bit of weeding. Will it be ok to pot on some Brussels into the biodegradable pots and them plant them when space permits?

They don't annoy at all  ::).............they just sometimes make us laugh, and it's not meant to be unfriendly, just lighthearted  ;)

Put 6 cougettes in 3 Romanessco and 3 Black beauty, tried to move stuff out of greenhouse to make way for my toms ( you do need a bigger greenhouse 6 x 4 at moment)
Running out of room to plant stuff out now, think I will have to take some of this weeb membrane up  :ohmy:
I came I saw I grew my own veg

picked and watered sugarsnaps.
Cut 3 holes in the weed membrane at the end of the plot and fixed down 3 short open ended tubs  for the pumpkins, filled them with a mix of compost and soil.
Tried to convince the tall peas to stay on the netting and canes  :nowink:

Planted 3 cucumbers out and made them cloches out of squash bottles.  Sowed some more spinach and lettuce.  Watered, watered and watered, though the forecast is for rain tomorrow  :D
