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.

Hi friends,

Meggle is not so happy tonight. Real life drama. I joined a social group on Facebook a month ago and it was totally out of my comfort zone but I gave it a go and was enjoying it. The group were having some dramas with another group. Some sort of turf war over events. I went to one of their coffee groups on Friday. Somehow I got blamed as one of the troublemakers because I asked too many questions and I got banned from the group. I tried to sort it out with the organiser today on messenger to no avail. I am upset but I think maybe I am better off. I don’t want to be involved in drama. Stupid groups!!!

Maybe its best to know earlier than later. Yep groups can be very tricky. Understatement!

@Oaktree

Take Care ... go gently and find your feet in the groups that work

Re: My Place

Keep walking @Oaktree there will be normal groups somewhere else or just give it a pause. Sounds bizarre

@TAB @Appleblossom

Once burnt, twice shy!

I don’t think I will try another Facebook Social Group.

Thanks for your comments, it was bizarre.

In response to: Re: My Place

Meggle

In response to: Re: My Place

Re: My Place

yeah they have issues sounds @Oaktree Not hard for humans to get sucked in by group things online. I have to stop myself making comments on fb, twitter etc, twitter just gets silly with people wanting audiences and getting off on stuff that should not be on any concern to them etc etc

@TAB

I think what @Appleblossom

said was right. Better to know before I got too invested. It’s a shame but not the end of the world. Sounds like the organiser has gotten a bit paranoid! I can really do without the drama anyway.
