A man of your means should perhaps consider investing in an irrigation system Rory.

I've just bought one of those.

Any good? How much did it cost you?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Thu 24 May 2012, 14:58, Reply)

About 70 quid. The basic package was about £50 but I needed some extra pipe and dripping things (like Monty's penis)
I've not installed it yet but my in-lawas have something similar and they are quite happy with it.

That's not bad.
I've been giving it some consideration. Must be the unseasonly nice weather.
It'll probably be pissing down next week anyway.

Last year the stuff I tried to grow all died because I didn't water it regularly enough
so this year I decided not to take the risk.

What did you grow?
I've got hanging baskets front and back, and a couple of raised beds round the back with carrots, lettuce, spring onions, etc.

Tried growing cabbages and strawberries but some wee fucker was eating them after dark.

I was thinking more like snails after my cabbages and mice after my strawbs
but now I'm not so sure...

Beetroot, courgetttes, tomatoes, loganberries and rhubarb.
This year is more beetroot and courgettes, some kale and some beans. And the loganberries and rhubarb

You really wish your dad had bought you a flat with a garden so that you could grow some strawberries.
But sadly, you're stuck in your concrete wasteland, whereas we will be enjoying a nice cold beer in our respective gardens tonight.

i hate strawberries, the seeds get in the way
i have two nice balconies on a shady street and i am about 4 mins walk from holland park, or a 15 min walk from hyde park. so i'm not complaining, ta.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 24 May 2012, 15:25, Reply)

4 minutes is still a long way comapred with 0 minutes.

(Bazongaloid, Thu 24 May 2012, 15:29, Reply)

i'd prefer holland park to a couple of fenced-in square feet overlooked by everyone else, which is all you get in london
when i want a real garden, i'll go up to cheshire and lie around my dad's. and if i ever want one for good, i'll sell the flat and buy something else. but i would want assurances as to the hotness of the gardener before committing myself to a move like that.

I got my chard seeds the other day.
I'm going to build a self-irrigating container for them.
