I used to be really keen. Took over my dad's garden after he died but couldn't keep on top of it...half an acre and greenhouse. He managed it along with two others and working full time!

 

Got back into it last year but veg was a washout literally. Have put half of the lawn to wildflowers and single-flowered cultivated spp. I think the rest of the lawn may follow.

Bad couple of years i've had growing so only planning on using up veg seed which I have in storage. I'm sure i've still got some seeds saved from a parent of Ailsa Craig tomatoes which was developed at my former college so that might be a little project.

 

Main problem was harvesting as just not enough time to crop and the kitchen staff have changed and are useless with some of my hard worked product. No incentive.

My supplier of seed tatties has shortages so that is a good excuse not to grow them this year.

But I am ramping up flower production so i'm not getting lazy in me old age.

Was going to start a thread on my bedding plant production if anyone is interested.

Hope this wind stops soon as i've got 20 plus panes in my prop house to change.
