Sounds awful.

[MonsterMum]

Sorry to hear about you and your other half, even sorrier about the plants you're leaving behind.  If I can send you any seeds let me know

[dandelion]

I'm very sorry to hear about all this littlegem. I hope things will get better for you soon!

[Curryandchips]

Sad indeed, I hope things work out ok ...

[moonbells]

Ouch Littlegem - after all the hassle you had with seeds earlier this year too. *hugs* and best wishes.

Sad, sad news and I'm so sorry that you and OH are parting.

I remember the pix as your garden took shape....cannot begin to imagine how you must be feeling now.

Lots of hugs and all good thoughts,

Lishka x

Littlegem, really sorry to hear you and your OH are parting.  Don't leave all your friends on here though, do keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on.  We shall be thinking of you.  Take care.  T.

Little Gem, I am so very sorry to hear about the breakdown with your OH, but also about the loss you face with your plants and garden!   You sound so distressed and in need of a shoulder. Very sad when something like this ends, and there is more involved than just physical work when you plant a garden,  - along with the nuturing and caring  you put a lot of yourself into it.  I hope that something can be worked out with both of your losses.  Lots of love and hugs in your hour of need!  :( busy_lizzie

Sorry about your circumstances... me and my OH have split up twice and it wasnt easy... now we are full steam ahead after living apart for almost a year but we couldnt be happier!

If you need any seeds to get you going again let me know.

[MrsKP]

take all your babies with you!  :o

gutted for you love.

offer of seeds here too but personally i'd pot them all up and take them, or go back in the dead of night and take them.  ;D

[tim]

Do keep in touch?

[tilts]

I too had to leave my  lovely house & garden earlier this year as my OH has been very, very ill.  I understand. 
Close your eyes and feel this hug x Be strong.

[Gordon]

I'm Devastated for you. Good Luck in the future keep in touch.

Gordon

[bennettsleg]

Littlegem, that's devastating on both counts and you have my heartfelts.

Is it possible to pot on what can be potted on and to negotiate "custody visits" for the harvesting? If you feel up to it, keep on posting and good luck with your search for a new home with a plot. Take care and try to remain positive.

[supersprout]

Sad news on all fronts littlegem. Will be thinking of you.
Stay in touch, won't you? :-*

[katynewbie]

 :(

Can only echo what has been said before. Hope this will be a whole new start for you and that next year is a better one.

[Meg]

Oh babe sorry to hear about your plight I know from experience that it is a tough thing to do but................there are some things that just have to be faced up to and everything will settle eventually. We are all creatures of habit really but change is good for us too. You will get through ok. Keep smiling and find out who your friends truly are XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[kitty]

the end of something can be the start of something brilliant,so hang in there-all of us are only temporary guardians of our plots anyway-just some peoples tenancy is a bit shorter-

heres to happier times and more sowing and growing,
keep in touch lettuce!
