Topic: Hi all!

Don't listen to them Gruesome I'm one of a very few sane ones on the site, some of them spend all day going into the same shop looking for bargains, one of the them chooses her car to match her handbag others have 80 to 100 packets of seeds, I could go on, and I'm the crazy one. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P.  PS I tried to not use slug pellets this year but had to give in.  ;D ;D ;D

Now don't you listen to that either,  says I can't spell. I can I just can't type.

You will quickly find out who the sane ones are.

Me, I am as nutty as a fruit cake,

Oh and by the way Cornykev, my car is not the same colour as my handbag,my bag is black, my car is red......now were did I put that lipstick.

I don't have 80-100 packets of seeds either  and that is the honest truth.

Hi  Gruesome, welcome make your self @ home.

Hello Gruesome, welcome and enjoy! And maybe you'll find time to garden afterwards!

I don't have 80-100 packets of seeds either  and that is the honest truth.

Yes Kev. Jeannine must have well over 200 packets of seeds.  ;D

Oh and I had to resort to pellets this year. Never had to in the days of growing in pots. Now it's out there fending for itself I feel some stuff needs a hand if I'm ever going to see any crops. This was brought on by going to mini g/h to find 6  pots of soil where my bean plants should have been. Boy, was I pi**ed off for the rest of the day.
So, vulnerable things now have pellets around them. Weep. Will try to find better solutions next growing season but I've done coffee grounds, eggshells etc trying to protect hostas and none of it works. ( Well, not for me)

Ems, I think Jeannine's got nearer 300 and it wasn't you I was talking about with the matching car and bag, she nows who I'm talking about, come on step forward, out the closet, own up no one will think any the worse of you.  ??? ;D ;D ;D

Hi and welcome from me too.
Was only travelling through Probus on Sunday. We had a long weekend break touring around. Wanted to go and see where we use to live in Sticker and what it was like.
My husband's uncle use to own the garage in Probus and hubby worked there as a teen.

Robert my husband grew up in Foxhole, small World isn't it?  ;D

I'm on the waiting list for an allotment and they date back to the 15th Century, so the soil is fabulous. I cannot wait for the day to arrive when I'm an official *Lottie Dottie*  ;D

small world indeed!  Dunno if you peeps have discussed this global warming issue in here? If not what are your views? I have found with much milder winters down here the seasons being mixed up what  i was taught and learnt from my granddad and father has had to be re-thought.  The turning over of soil in large lumps for the frost to attack in winter no longer applies down here in Cornwall we had only 2 days with frost last winter. Slugs and other beasties have it all their own way, and when it rains like last week i feel i should be planting rice in the paddifields. Hey cornykev my other name on Yahoo is L00neyt00ns so i should fit right along with the crazies. Thanks once again all.

hi gruesom i love cornwall would love to live there 8) do not like useing slug pellets but feel they are needed this year as there is so many due i think to the very mild and wet winter and isn,t it normal to have at least 100 packets of seeds and yes i do own a handbag the same colour as my car but is is a white one. the make and model? i,v already said it,s a white one :-[

What's the history of the 500-year-old site? If it really is that old, it must be the oldest in the country.

[Lauren S]

The allotment site belongs to the estate of Powderham Castle built over 600 years ago, Powderham Castle is the historic home of the Earl of Devon.
