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.

Hey, i wasnt trying to shut that person down. They were on my thread, which is called trying makes it worse, and i couldnt engage them so i just spoke to that. Sometimes interactions like that can be hard because no one really supports me through it and i end up negatively impacted.

@Owlunar i was not trying to be unkind

Hi @EternalFlower

I saw your interaction with that other person and I also saw what he left on your thread. I think he was confused by @tonys in the first place. You did nothing wrong and don’t need to worry about it. As you rightly said it’s hard in text because you can’t read the tone.

Hey @EternalFlower

You were doing the right thing trying to support that person - and I admire you for that. Thanks - it made me respond too - they need to be more informative so we can assist - well done.

And it's not easy - I hope you are okay - what you said was brave -

I was trying to support you too - I'm sorry you have felt unsupported - and negatively impacted - it can be hard work on the forum but to me - worthwhile

All the best @EternalFlower

Thanks @Owlunar i triggered sometimes i admit as u dont know the tone but i guess i can try my best and step back if i feel its impacting me.

Thanks lovely appreciate that @Shaz51

@Owlunar have u been around the forums a while? I tend to stick to a few spaces but am trying to explore. @Oaktree tagged me here which is a nice discussion.🤍

Re: My Place

Great to hear you had a decent day @Oaktree and managed the phone call and moved with the referrals. I did my usual. Garden and music. Food was leftovers. Did things with my son and went out at night. This week is weirdly social for me. 3 invites will post more on my other thread.

Hi @EternalFlower

I have been around the forum for years - since after my mother died and I found a can of worms (memories) I couldn't look at before she died - and then had to deal with it. Yes - I saw a psychologist.

Reaching out can be tough - if you are shy - I think you did a great job with that other person btw - that was a toughie yet you persisted - well done.

I was bereaved just over a year ago and took months off - my uncle was not much older than me and my friend all my life - my best friend - so the loss was considerable. I have just had two weeks in a private general hospital too and have other problems so I am just getting back into it - if you like I will tag you into my thread where we are already friends and the conversation is honest and caring - okay - I will tag you in and you can make the choice yourself.

I am glad to have found you - the website is pretty big and impossible to keep up with everyone - I pick and choose any new people - there are a lot of things I can't deal with

All the best

Owlunar - oh yes - I am Mumma Bear over there

Goodnight

Re: My Place

Gor the tag there looks nice @Owlunar and feel i can join and am welcome, so nice u find people and give them a virtual hug and point us to new spots

Im sorry for all you have gone through.

Grief is so hard.

I think once i realised people here wouldnt hurt me i persisted. It is moderated and maybe bullying etc is preventable.

We have an interesting community here.
