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.

I was wondering when the new community builders that were recruited a while back start on the forums? Are they still training?

Hey Oaktree,

They started overnights on the 13 Aug.

You may not have met them as they work late hours but they're here

Hey @Oaktree ,

If you don't mind me asking, how is Marmalade going?

Hope you are okay.

Hi @tyme

Thanks for asking.

Marmalade seems healthy.

She is eating well and her coat is shiny.

She seems to have rebounded.

We will get more bloods done in November when we take her for her yearly vaccination. Hopefully it will back up the fact that her kidneys have recovered

Glad to hear Marmalade is going okay @Oaktree

I was concerned and worried about asking you in case it was upsetting.

I hope things continue to improve and the bloods are okay.

Thanks @Shaz51 @tyme

I will give Marmalade your best wishes and an extra couple of pats on your behalf. I am happy she is doing so well too. Maybe she used up one of her 9 lives.
