What mistakes have you NOT learnt from?

Once chased and caught an intruder in my pyjamas. (he wasnt wearing my pj's by the way) The satisfaction vastly overwhelmed any possible embarrassment. So, not a mistake cos he would have gotten away and, yes, I would do it again

 

That's easy to overcome, all you need to do every year is buy more and more propagators and growlights to cope with the early seedlings, then buy more and more greenhouses, polytunnels, etc. to move them to, plus keep buying more and more heaters, etc., etc.

That's what I've learnt from sowing stuff too early.

 

Agree ,especially as it's @Scrungee who never seems to pay more than 1/2p for anything

 

True, but then I'd simply join a shopping forum and not a gardening forum. Growing your own stuff ain't easy.

 

I paid 7p/Kg for this reduced to clear frozen Sweetcorn and 17p/Kg for this reduced to clear frozen fish



As I've also got approx. £100's worth of Princes Macky fillets for nothing (and previously £100's worth of their Tuna and Peaches), so I guess it all averages out at 0.5p each.

 

I rest my case

 

I had a lovely hypericum in the front garden. It died off in the really harsh winter of 2010(?). So I replaced it with..... exactly the same again. Got it to about 4 feet tall and it has just died after this winter. However, I don't think 'third time lucky' is going to work in this situation, so I will be looking to find an alternative solution.

 

my husband does this with his cars. that is why he gets no more $200.00 sweaters for Christmas gifts.

 

Yep......ruined another pair of trousers today. Gloss paint splashes on jeans not a good combination. What I intended to be a careful incident free 20 minute job turned into a lot more than that. Even my local postie tut tutted my behaviour!! I now have several painting trousers

 

Well, you could always do the painting in the nude Verdun . You would save a fortune on clothing.

 

Brilliant idea lucius....should be warmer tomorrow

 

Using tap water for venus fly traps- even though I've killed a few with it over the years it's like I have a block and just think "a little bit wont hurt it". It does, every time.
