Don't read gardening books before bed...

**Two_Sheds** · 30-12-2008, 07:54 PM

My (gardening) sap is starting to rise too (about 2 months too early) ... I am starting to dream of my new allotment planting plan; and worrying that I don't have enough seeds; worrying about how many to sow ...

I'm so excited!

I'm getting dead excited! Started 2 days ago and cranked up a large notch today when lovely lovely Mr R said he'd build me my first raised bed! This year, 'cos we only have limited space unless we move (looking unlikely at the moment), I'm concentrating on what I buy most days - mainly tomatoes and salad leaves. Mind you, I say this every year, and I STILL try to sneak in all kinds of things.

Surely it depends who the book is by? Anything by Andi Cleavely sends me straight to sleep!

I fall asleep dream of my garden finished and full of flowers and veg, wake up and look outside to find the fence is still broken patio not laid other veg bed still to be built the list goes on, hoping for warmer,dry weather so I can get going!

Oh I cannot read anything about growing veges late at night, my mind starts on what needs to be done.......what needs to be grown, when can I start it, will i finish it? I worry and then I am none stop nattering about it and bore non gardeners to death...........I punished myself like this until 2005 and then stopped. Reading is best done at the lottie after weeding with a brew sat in the sunshine!!!

Not enough seeds - that's never going to be a problem here! Realised the other day that I've ordered about twice as many seed potatoes as I actually need

If you need to off load any potato seeds I havent ordered any yet and will buy and pay for postage if you want pm me.
Seeds I have loads room I have not with only a half plot I cant grow as much as I would like to have applied for another plot in OH name but dont tell him. Not allowed two plots in my name but OH can apply.

Where my plots are at the base of a semi circle of hills, I dreamt the other night that I was having to swim out to my shed that was just showing above the water and then got all frustrated as it disappeared and I couldn't find it.

Must mean something. Probably that I'm nutty.

**FROSTYFRECKLE** · 31-12-2008, 11:20 AM

At least I now know I am not alone. My dreams tend to be garden based. Probably moving next year and my mind is occupied with - what can I bring with me, can this, that and the other grow in pots, can I bring my Victoria Plum tree with me (the freebie from the GYO) - I don't want to leave it (it's in a pot).

**helly** · 31-12-2008, 12:21 PM

I have been given access to a very large plot of land in a field next year and my mind is in overdrive, panic is'nt the word, I have to listen to my relaxation tape before I go to sleep

**hooraynana** · 31-12-2008, 12:30 PM

ha this is excellent i am not alone - i nodded off last night circling the seeds i most desire from the thompson and morgan book
woke up and went to check on my e bay bid for a rotovator ( i dreamt of my plot all freshly rotovated and with a new rabbit proof fence and was quite excited )

I move often with the RAF, I take almost all of my 'garden' with me. I start potting up things that are in the ground, that I wish to take, as soon as I know we are off, giving them time to settle a little before moving.

If you Plum is in a pot it will be fine to take.

Don't think reading before bed matters
I have weird dreams whatever I do!
