    Hello everybody I just signed up. I'm pretty new to gardening but have been growing chillis for a couple of years now. I am going to be pimping up my back garden this next few weeks so will be looking for masses of advice from you all. I'm in the north of England ( nr Carlisle )

            I had only peppers in my greenhouse for a few years. Beatiful orange habaneros, red habaneros, 7 pot yellow, chocolate douglah, crimson devil's tongue and many more. Potent and pretty :)

            Haha if I could fill it with chillis I definitely would.
            I need to raise it a little as it floods. I have a few ducks and hens and they get the brunt of it, not that the ducks mind. After that some raised beds for veg and a small area for lawn. That is the initial plan in a nutshell. I will pop it into the project section shortly [emoji2]
            As for the chillis I cut down this year I'm growing Carolina reapers, 7 port SR, Orange Bhut Copenhagen, Green Hornet, Choc Nagabrain, Yellow Moruga, yellow Jalapeño, Fatalii and Thai Mound!!!!!!

              Crikey, I feel your pain with that flooding!!!
              Is that Wilson floating just in front of the trampoline? :heehee:
              I used to have ducks and hens in my last garden - now I just have hens.
              I had khaki campbells and indian runners.
              Hens are a variety of breeds over the years.
              Which do you have?

                I currently have 2 Cayuga ducks 4 welsummers and a welsummer Cockerel. It is indeed Wilson by the trampoline well spotted
                If the flooding had got any worse I was going to get a couple dolphins to keep the ducks company !

                  Oooh, Cayuga's are handsome ducks!
                  Welsummers ... they lay the very dark brown eggs?
                  Lucky, lucky thing to have a cockerel. I had one, we called him The Colonel, but we were never quite "rural" enough to get away with one without a neighbour, or three, to protest :sad: (They never did, but I worried they would :redface: )

                  Dophins! :roflol: Love, love, LURVE dolphins :wub2:
