It's have to be when the kids have left or it would include supermarket trips to buy oven chips and quorn sausages!! I love gardening but always put off starting it. Bit like housework : I like the end result but am a little slow in starting. What you growing? I also have the dream of my self build house on my self sufficient land.

It's very educational you know, haven't you read One to One?! I have a love hate relationship with gardening too but when I do make time to do it I ususally enjoy it. I particularly enjoy hacking things down, which is my usual way of gardening - let the plants run riot for a year then cut them all down again. Growing stuff is great though, the kids love it, and for some reason I do too ... maybe it's that broodiness being channeled into plants instead of wanting a baby, always a good thing. and yeah, :roll: to your parents, Jax! Well done for smiling :) Nic! It’s very educational you know, haven’t you read One to One?! I have a love hate relationship with gardening too but when I do make time to do it I ususally enjoy it.

Grr @ your parents - I hate people just dropping in anyway but its beyond me how anyone can think they will be welcome early evening in a house with small children who have a regular bedtime. My parents went through a phase of turning up at 5pm - teatime for a while but soon got the hint with all my loaded comments to the kids about how they usually ate so well without an audience! Gardening just totally whooshes over my head. I can see how it could be relaxing / rewarding / enjoyable to others but I just don't get it myself. Don't think I'd have room in my life for it anyway, maybe something to save for retirement eh! sounds like a lovely day - so nice when the small people are unexpectedly lovely isn’t it!
