I’m back……

[Chrissyteacup]

Hi all had a few years out both of gardening and the forum life got busy with a toddler returning to work and I just got lost along the way.

I am determined to restart my veg patch which has been covered the last couple of years I may be late planting but have some garlic and shallot sets ordered and I’m feeling really excited.

Fantastic to see you back Chrissy.
Cant believe your bundle of joy is what…about 3 1/2 years old now?
I became a Covid granny by the way…where are the months and years flying?

Glad to hear you are motivated back into gardening - no doubt your little’un will want to get involved too!

Hi Chrissyteacup (love your username). Nice to meet you *wave*

Hello and welcome back.

Very sensible covering your patch. I wish I'd done that... You'll be off to a flying start.

[Chrissyteacup]

Thanks all ☺️ that’s right Nicko she’ll be 4 in April! Aww so they’ll be around the same age! How the time flys! Thanks for that Bren I’ve already got some overalls for her and some mini gardening gloves so she can copy me 🤣
nice to meet you too Andstrate!
Thanks Snoop got a couple of compost boxes full to the brim too so hoping I’ll have a good return!

Welcome back, enjoy daughter and gardening as both bring great joy into your life, though be prepared for a lot of frustration, and you will have to guess from where

[Chrissyteacup]

Haha I’m sure I’ll have a lot of weed replanting to do as she tends to be over zealous but I know she’ll love lasting seeds and watering!

Great to see you back Chrissy.
Gardening with a toddler it's a whole different experience. 🌱

thanks Florence 😊

Haha I’m sure it will be but she’s keen she already wants to plant seeds out of a pepper so I’m sure she’ll love planting the seeds as she’s at preschool now I’ll have a day where il be able to potter a little without her “help” but mostly I plan on involving her!

Great to see you back Chrissy, I too became a Covid granny…around 1-2 weeks after Nicos. I’m not surprised you’ve had to take time out with a toddler on the go but enjoy being back in your veg patch!!

[Chrissyteacup]

Aww that’s lovely Jay do you get your grandchild round to help out in the garden much? I did manage to grow in the greenhouse year before last but didn’t do anything at all this year and I have missed it but I just couldn’t commit to it and the greenhouse still needs a clear out afterwards but now she’s at preschool so I have a little more time to myself I hoping I can make it work!
