    I was wondering if any members posted garden updates in instagram? Also if any members know any good accounts to follow for good gardening tips or pictures? Would love to follow more gardening people and see other peoples gardening pics and projects.


    Feel free to follow me if you want http://instagram.com/designbyhook/

          I don't use instagram, but I do use Pinterest. I find it really good for inspiration, and have seen loads of original ideas on there. It's not great for giving advice or instructions, so I come here to ask for advice on creating the ideas I've seen on Pinterest for inspiration. ;-)
          Here's my 'gardening ideas' board I use for inspiration https://uk.pinterest.com/eroro/gardening-ideas/

              Yeah, I have a small container garden, so I find it really useful for specific ideas. I love some of the ideas for creating pots, and maximising a small area. I've utilised quite a few of the concepts for my own space.

              I've just done some serious drooling over your garden boards! The only problem with inspiration, is that it can become expensive. :-) I've followed you on there.
              I quite often use my boards as a reminder too, so I can go back and find things I've seen on the web and find them again at a later date. (I have a bit of a plant shopping list on mine, as well as all the pretty pictures).

                    Thanks for the advice. I'm not that bothered about followers.mdoing it more for my own enjoyment so I can see progress from when it was a mess to the height of summer when everything's flying! :)
