Not all bad news

Good to read that record numbers of people got into gardening this year and spent money on buying bulbs and plants. Maybe the last few months have taught us to count our blessings and instead of moaning incessantly to get growing and to enjoy our patch of land, no matter how small. I bet a lot of the traffic to the RHS website will be from this very forum

Those who have been furloughed, and are returning to work [for however long that may be ] won' t have the same amount of time to spend on their gardens.
All the people I've seen out walking, in their brand new 'trainers', are disappearing because of weather too, and I can't see many of them continuing doing it once they go back to work either, even once the weather is more suitable for them - in 6 months time.
If some keep up the planting/growing interest though - that's a great thing. Everyone needs to find pleasure in the small things, in their ever increasingly hectic lives.

Even though, lockdown permitting
How lucky we are to have our gardens. 😀
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm glad you've found the interest and want to keep it going. It was my sanctuary when I suddenly found myself a single parent, and completely lost. It's still a sanctuary

Gardening is great, I try to push it on other people but I think you either get it or you don't. I told my fiance (will he ever become my husband at this rate?!) this morning that I had some stuff to do in the garden and his response was "How can you have anything else to do in the garden??" There's loads to do!
