The Cottage Smallholder

Christmas Day and Boxing Day were great fun but exhausting so I spent most of yesterday tucked up in bed with the Min Pins and my laptop. I had planned to plant some bulbs – yes a bit late, I know. The earth is still quite frozen so bulb planting will have to wait.

What with Christmas and the gate side stand I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t had a chance to get on the forum recently. Yesterday I spent a happy couple of hours there. You have made it a great place to visit. Almost like going to the best pub in the world.

Here I found interesting, stimulating ideas and lots of laughter. Thank you so much everyone who has contributed. Generally I find forums a bit dull and tend to go on grab the information that I need and then leave. This is a totally different experience and I’m delighted that it’s working so well.

The forum has become the third most popular place to visit on the site. It doesn’t appear on the Top Twenty list as it is not an article. Now I can see why it is attracting so much interest. If you haven’t yet ventured on to have a peek, you won’t regret the visit.

I love gardening and I also love great tools, seeds and plants. My favourite online site is Harrod Horticultural because they stock really good quality items. Their service is top class. Give yourself or somebody you love a present that they will adore. Click here
