Re:
Not so many things as most people Taps and I never had time until I retired. Actually this was not much work I just filled the containers with a soil mix topped with peat compost and then planted last years pinks into them. I was going to give them to a woman, but she annoyed me over several things so she will have to wait and have the old plants in the Autumn. It was nothing really I saved her some auriculas and then she did not want them.

Re:
Well RR. it is not too difficult, but it is becoming expensive to buy compost and plants, but of course one propagates one's own plants. I think one needs a little bit of protection in the winter also..

Looks like you have really put in a lot of work there.
I don't know which is best with you, your gardening, your photography or your poetry.  Actually, I'm glad that you do all three.  What else can you do?

Your plants are an inspiration, Chiffchaff. Why don't mine look like that?

Re: busy hands make beautiful things...in your case anyway.
One has to be careful to not indulge in too large a container Kabu and getting the right compost is getting more tricky, we all have been using too much peat. The trouble is the substitutes are pretty grotty.
