Thanks to my dad who taught me to garden from when I was small. My first garden was a butler sink taken from the kitchen when a new one was put in.

These are morning glories which I haven't grown for years. A climber and each flower only last a day.

I have sweet peas growing too.

Anyone else sowing seeds and doing their garden now we are at home.

My first garden was also a sink! Amazing how it stands you in good stead as an adult. I have sown tomato seeds and courgette sees which are coming up well so far...

Hello, Yes. I have been cleaning up my deck of the last of the winter leaves, cleaning out pots and putting in fresh soil. I have tom. up and some herbs. I need some more seeds, but am reluctant to go out and buy some. I found some old seeds, so on Tue. I planted bright red poppy's I hope they grow. Like you I was introduced to gardening as a child. My brother and I had our own little spaces and could grow what ever we wanted. I was born and raised in the UK, gardening was a big pass time. We had everything, veg, salad, bushes of raspberry's, gooseberry's, fruit trees, it was fun. I need to get out on my deck and see what else I can plant of the old seeds...I love morning glory's and sweet peas, makes me feel like going shopping!!! I put some old green beans in, hope they come up. I have some hollyhocks, think I'll give those a try. I wish you well, and what a lovely way to fill our time....Sending green thumbs, good health, no bugs or worms except ladybirds and earth worms....With love n hugs...Sprinkle 1

All the seeds so far old seeds so happy they are working.

Also dug garden over at the back, going to dismantle old raised bed. Slit and planted cocosus plants. They are now in my bare front garden.
