Good luck

They do eat and destroy almost everything and it is so annoying. You spend all that money on plants and within a few days, they are all dead Thing is though, I hate to kill the little blighters

I love hanging baskets especially the summer ones

i only do summer bedding plants, i've got loads of land, luckly my dad has just retired and loves gardening, so he's helping me out

my neighbour does green beens, carrots, beetroot etc, i'd kill it all if i tried

Oh you are lucky to have your dad help you out - I am useless at gardening. My mum had the green fingers and both my brothers are gardeners

My neighbour grows veg in her back garden, or tries to but my cats love to use her garden for their toilet - it's so embarrassing

my neighbour gives me all her produce anyway and we've got a stray cat that lives in mine and hers garden that we feed, so he does his toilet else where
