    I have just spent a lovely hour watching my dd's plant out their flowers, which they all grew from seed last year, they have better luck than I do with seeds :doh:
    Their Grandad explained to them what to do with their seeds last year,but they got a little upset planting them out today as he never got to see their hard work bloom, however one of them turned round and asked me if grandad could see their flowers from heaven, I told them he could.
    It started off a rather bad day today but this last hour has just turned it into a great day, hope you don't mind me sharing but sometimes it's the little things that make a huge difference.

    Take care all

          :ThankYou:lolimac, your right and Hopefully with the help from you wonderfull people on gc we will get there, I also may have to leave the seed planting to my girls :blue thumb:

          :ThankYou: Kaz, It was a nice lesson for me, instead of me having a POM day (poor old me) It turned out to be a great one, and all it took was some plants, my dd's company and the memory of grandad/ dad.

          Take care all

                  I suggest you do the gardeners trick, and keep a couple of the same plantings spare, and if one of theirs cops it do the midnight swap

                  Saves a lot of un happiness

                    Oh Jack, If only that was possible, I fail everytime with seeds:doh:even when i read the packet over and over again to make sure I have done everything right, I still fail :huh: so I carn't even have some sneaky back ups, It is a great idea though and would save a lot of un happiness, but the girls also have to learn not every seed you plant will grow, as one of them keeps saying to me " ha ha mum carnt grow seeds and we can" followed by a cuddle, don't ya just love the little darlings.

                    Take care

                      Nice one Sparra. It gives us Grandads reasons to keep going.

                          Hi Folly Mon, only word I can think of is :wow:, very very impressed, I can only dream of having a set up like yours :love30:, I'm still saving for my greenhouse plus I'm still working on the girls and their 14ft trampoline, which takes up a lot of our garden.
                          As for the photo issue, I give you my word I will do my best to learn that too, my Oh makes it sound very simple, but i feel it's no so.

                          Have a lovely day, take care
