making an obelisk to grow my sweetpeas and some beans up! It took about 2 1/2 hours to make.

the cost was £2.50 ;D (half a bundle of roofing batons from a builders)
Nails free (all my leftovers!)
Paint free (see above!)

Was huge amounts of fun and quite easy!

You're an artist DP. that looks great, functionable as well as classy to look at. Imagine how much you would pay for that at a Garden Centre. Well done! :) busy_lizzie

Thanks all, I don't know if it would stand up to stringent inspection from a carpenter ;D

repotting my seedlings into bigger pots. It took me til 6.30 pm and the day just flew by. Kitchen looked a bit of a mess by the time I'd finished. I had to laugh - I was thinking I'm glad I've not got as many as EJ. I wouldn't like to repot that lot ;D ;D ;D My repotted seedlings are now all over my spare rooms. Got too many Gardeners Delight and Mortgage Lifter tomatoes as they all germinated. I'll be able to sell the excess at a plant fayre we're having in May

This morning I will be mostly sowing courgettes :)

Hey that is fab. I hope you are very chuffed with yourself and giving yourself lots of good vibes! ;D

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2005, 18:25:38 »

Any more for anymore? I have 8 more sets of instructions ready to go in the post if anyone else is interested! ;D

MagpieDi · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2005, 00:27:12 »

Brilliant ! Even with the plans, I wouldn't know where to start ! ::)

Hey Dottie, I could offer you B & B in the picturesque Pennines. :)

P.S. Don't forget the wood ! ;) ;D
