I was in Homebase today and they have a brand new range of seeds out
which is predomently vegetables . The difference from previous seasons
is that they have several different viareties of each vegetables .

It just goes to show how fashions change as I am one of those people
caught up in the new obsession for growing plants and preferably ones
that are edible

I love it , I get great enjoyment from growing .

I don't know whether it because I turned 37 this year or whether it's
because I have 2 children the youngest being 8 months .

It's just that I have found great enjoyment from it recently and my
favourite TV programme instead of Men behaving badly is now Gardeners
world . Just can't beat it on a friday night with glass of wine

Just as long as you don't do what Bob Flowerdew does and cover the ground
with carpet and plastic. I've been spending the last few weeks digging out
the very same, but rotten, from our "new" allotment together with a buried
brick path running the length of it and various broken bottles, smashed
pots, discarded pea netting, crushed cans, lengths of poly string etc.
Messy gardeners should be shot, we only hold the soil in trust for future
generations.
