May 11, 20233 yr Yeah, you know. The title tells you it didn't end well for me. In her esteemed desperation to plant 'things' I said put them out the front but don't block all the decking I've got to do. So we get this...... how many fecking pots! When I complain... apparently it's because there is no garden space for the pots. Here is the 'garden' - can't see the issue really. I uncontrollably emit the "FFS". Now the response is the oldest and blow to the heart. "Well if you hadn't taken 10 years...." I'm not alone on this am I. 😶 Edited May 11, 20233 yr by pocster

May 11, 20233 yr HID has 1 huge workshop and 3 sheds, so I said I wanted my own for my gardening things. So he bought a kit (for speed), we built it and now it stores all his expensive tools because it's more secure than the others, which he hasn't moved out of. So, I have sympathy with SWMBO as I don't have anywhere either. Eventually I have a corner of the woodshed and all the pots outside, about 60 of them.
May 11, 20233 yr My ex used to go into a plant buying frenzy at this time of year. One of the many reasons why she is my ex. £300 - 500 at a time.
May 11, 20233 yr Author @Thorfun you laugh my friend. I've not seen any recent photo's and therefore I assume (i.e. know ) you are slipping on any fantasy timeline you had. You will be coming back to this thread in the near future and post "Yes, I understand!" . Just you wait and see.....

Actually don’t answer that 🙄 What's worse is I also lost the stables, they will be the snug and bedrooms. I was promised replacements, but the horses have been living with field shelters only for some years now. Not that they care really to be fair, they prefer keeping cool and shaded to being dry.
