Charlotte Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I produce all the vegetable and bedding plants at my parent's garden centre.I'll spend about 5 hours tomorrow just sowing seeds. I love it!!!!!! My Mum has sown LOADS of seeds. She pricked out 320 lettuces yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Mad Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I eat only organic , its supposed to be much healthier I buy organic too. Luckily my dad grows a lot, so I don't have to buy everything. It's expensive isn't it, but I think that it's worth the extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlintheblue Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 MM, you and I have something in common! I grow loads of fruit and veg for the family and now work in a nursery. Just in the office at the moment, but am hoping to spend more and more time outside. Love it, could prick out seedlings all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have to do the accounts, but I've dumped that job on my husband so that I can be outside more. I just love being in the greenhouse with loads of veg (my favourite are tomatoes) and the radio on. My kids were with me in the greenhouse this morning. My daughter sowed French beans and my son filled pots for courgettes. They aren't bad workers for 6 and 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 What on earth is she going to do with that many?!!! eat some, give the rabbit some, give them away to the neighbours, members of staff at school.....she'll find uses! lots of salads and prawn cocktails for dinner soon!

I had this yesterday when I came home from work, my kids 'helped' me sow loads of seeds. I wish my greenhouse was bigger so I could fit a chair in! I love the time of year when I can just go in and potter! Growing tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, sweetcorn, courgettes, strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, onions, spring onions, purple sprouting broccoli, peas and lettuce!!!

girlintheblue Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Probably! Do you supply garden centres as well as landscapers? Yes, something like 95% of all garden centres in Scotland. Not long started there after 6 years at home with the kids, work every day 9.30-2.30. I would love to drop a day, just to be able to get stuff done in the house and garden. After our busy period, maybe mid summer, think I'll ask to have Friday off. If you don't ask...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
