My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

@ArraDreaming @MJG017

Arra I asked someone to please explain linking and quoting for me. I am very grateful to MJG for doing that. Those were the two posts I was removing. The one asking and the one thanking. Just for ease of people using the thread I thought it would be good to get rid of unnecessary posts.

Re: My Place

I’m sorry @Oaktree
For saying rude things last night and being short. You reached out to me to ask if I was ok and if needed to talk and I shut you down, this was a big thing for you because we clashed in the past I’m sorry for doing that to you.
I have just noticed the last couple of days you have really taken it up on a notch in like I guess leading here and some of the posts you have made and things you have said, and I wonder why all of a sudden
I would like to know
Not for anything negative just because I’m interested in what’s spurred that on
For some reason I have just taken notice of that

this is entirely a me thing, not you btw

I cant get the full toolbar on my phone either. I even tried going on desktop with the browser showing the mobile version so i could make it as wide as possible. It seems to be a limiation of the mobile version, which ive not found an easy way around. So it does make some options, like quoting, trickier on mobile.

@ArraDreaming

It’s not that I am trying to lead but things have suddenly landed in my lap. I had the idea to do the How To thread a while back. Last night I finally had the time and energy to actually do it. It’s important to me that if I say I will do something that I actually do it. Sorry if this has made you feel a sort of way. That was not my intention
