Is there a “moans and groans” thread

Thanks, Veggie.
Sorry to be such a whinge !!
I shall hang on in there!

Not a whinge - and very sad to read this. Take some comfort in that she did have to pay for her flowers...so a large chunk of her money wasnt all profit. 

Can you grow a few potted flowers - some hardy annuals quick from seed? 

Stick with it, you've done most of the winter and the best is to come. I still find it heartbreaking that all we hear is buy local, british etc and then imported goods is favoured. Its cheaper to bring it overseas that it is for us to grow/make it here - costing the "earth" doesn't seem to matter
