Sounds like 'The Good Life'...lol

I have a lovely garden...Is communal though...though I am usually the only one who uses it..Having a duckpond and ducks is great too..

Would love to growm some provisions...but not sure if neighbours would be happy..may have a word..

Not very green fingered myself...Have a Yukka and a Cactus indoors...

Maybe there are plants I could grow on windowsill perhaps..?

Have a word with your neighbours Hugs, they might not mind, and they might enjoy it as much as you. You could grow herbs on the window sil, the smell of Basil is really lovely.

If you want to make your soil less alkaline... Chop up a few Rennie and dig them in

Ok sweetie, went to bed got up again, buy some Cat Mint, when she is not looking, throw the seeds in her garden...... the cats love it, no more cats in your garden, failing that I come up there and sort her out..............just a thought.....one old lady to another it might just pi-- her off.

we have a small garden but is totally overgrown at the moment-surrounded by conifers which grow so quickly i swear you can actually watch them sprout as you watch them-if you have too much time on your hands, that is

Parading around etc and talking to her menagerie. She has ducks, chickens 6 cats a dog and a parrot. Thats what I know about.

Total headcase.
can't you plant some quick growing conifers on your side so you have a bit of privacy?
