    Hello @Flumpy and welcome to the Corner :sign0016:

    Sorry to read that you have had a bad experience on another forum, but you can put all that behind you now as that sort of thing is never seen here. I look forward to chatting with you.

          Our wiseowl is one of the finest gentlemen you could ever choose as a friend, as you have found out. You will also find that we love photos here, so please do feel free to post photos of your garden (or anything else for that matter), and if you get stuck with anything you just have to ask.

            Hi Fat controller, I feel a bit cheeky saying that, lovely to meet you too, yes I’m going to put the past behind me and start a fresh, I can’t wait for spring and start taking photos of flowers again, I normally start by sowing my sweet pea seeds in February and send pictures as they grow :spinning:

              Be as cheeky as you like - you are among friends :)

              I have never had any luck with sweet peas, no idea why - I will welcome your tips when the time comes. There is something nice about this time of year, when we all get to plan and have that anticipation for the year to come whilst having a right good natter at the same time.

              Do you have a large garden?

              Oooh, and I must ask - your username, is that related to the TV show?

                I wish I had a large garden, hopefully our next house may have a bigger one in the future.
                Yes the Flumps where my favourite tv programme as a child of course :snorky:

                Sweat peas, I normally soak my seeds in a glass over night then put them in my propagater in the window then let nature take its course

                  Ah, so from that I deduce that we are of a similar age - I remember The Flumps well :)

                  I have never tried soaking them, so that may well be the answer, thank you :) Not sure if I have space for them this coming year (you should see my seed box!), but I will bear it in mind.

                  This is what I use, I have to take the lid off when they grow this high, then they go in my little green house
                  Was you born in the 70’s then ?
