Welcome back to the blogging world! I've missed you. My company sent me to a seminar last week, so I am way behind on my blog reading. Sorry there is such a long list for an allotment. I hope you can find some volunteer opportunities. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't garden.
Hi Snappy.
OOhhh how i love those pink orchids, were they grown in a hot house.
Hi Old roses, missed your comments and blog over past few months.I will get some dirt on my hands soon.Just working out how to do it..

Not sure whch species is easiest for a beginner though...maybe you'll discover that for me! :)
Hi Lisa,I will try to discover the easiest ones to grow and then tell you about them.Thanks for the links.Its freaky the upside down pots!
Sorry to be posting so much... Just catching up with you.
That pink orchid right there is easy. I was given one by my neighbor from the old house. I was quite scared to have an orchid, afraid I wouldn't know how to care for it. But it has bloomed twice since, and still alive after 3 years. All I do is water it, and feed a little Baby Bio per week in summer.
Thanks Salix tree (I looked up your name its weeping willow trees).You can comment all you like lol.Am glad you have been catching up,after my enforced layoff with no internet its so good to be back online.I have been productive with plants and seeds, and have been seduced by orchids.I am pleased to hear yours are doing well.I would love a photo of your plant now.Will drop by yours soon!
