Green garden

Yesterday was a complete roller coaster of emotions,i am still not really sure what happened, but i don't really want to talk about that now!...the past few weeks have been really tough, really the last month since Ben took the overdose, and the thing about me standing up and saying to my 'friends' that they were hurting my feelings a lot!I am still sleeping really well,so much in my life is really really good! I have started to clear the Garden, and have some big plans for a new greenhouse! i am not sure where i am going to have it yet, but i was really impressed when i saw the next door neighbours last week full of tomatoes and cucumbers, there are new people in the next door house,but it looked like they were looking after it, even though it must have been the nice couple who used to live there that planted it! i did see a piece of my old lean to there though, so that theiving nasty woman (who used to live there) and called called me a 'b***h'must have taken it!!
That greenhouse has been there for at least thirty years,probably 35 years actually, it doesn't look very robust,its all glass,and i have been reading up a lot about the siting of greenhouses and the angle is perfect to catch the most southern sun,it a pain to keep watering plants, which i am not very good at, and that is the reason why i don't have pots or hanging baskets outside the front of the house anymore,i did buy a very long hose but with the dog always running out at the time and the fact that i had to have two sets of doors open to use it put me off!! i am not really very interested in Flowers, although i can grow them really easily, i am more interested in vegetables, we have really good soil here and Mark said the best tomato's he ever grew were in this garden.I want to grow stuff i actually use,so will have indoor and outside tomato's and potato's too.
At the moment i have a lot of Apples, but the nettles have grown so much i cant get down the garden!, i have cut them down twice this summer and its just grown back, except where i dug up the roots, so will be doing that again over the winter months! i hate digging and am not really physically strong enough to do it for long so it is a very slow job!! i.e dig two spadefuls, rest, dig two more rest....
