My Place

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.

@Oaktree @Jynx @Till23 Nik Nik was one of our very first Community Managers here on the forums. She did that job for many years and was amazing.

Good gosh, been here 6 years and those early ones are a blur - I wonder if we crossed paths! I think when I joined it was DaisyDreamer.

Ok @Oaktree yes I thought it was an "old" book - I though maybe there had been an update or something.

Yes I know the surface story of her son and her life. But would be good to read the deeper story

Because I'm old I rememver her being on TV

Definitely before my time then @Zoe7 but they sound cool!

Re: My Place

She was @Jynx and was very much missed when she moved on to other things. It was a much smaller forums then so the CM was much more involved in the day to day stuff and with members - I know things change and grow but those days were pretty special.

In response to: Re: My Place

Re: My Place

They sure were special times @Zoe7

I still remember the first night I came here and @Appleblossom and @Jacques and @CherryBomb

And now it is wonderful to see the forum grow over the last 11 years and I have been here for nearly all of it @Jynx , @tyme , @Oaktree , @Till23
