My theory is, men love gardening because it is as close as they can get to childbirth...without the obvious pain! They aquire their little seed,they place it in a soft bed of John Innes,they talk to it,water and feed it,and then birth,a seedling!

Hiya GC, it is suprising how far some packets of seeds go, and how short others stretch. Some of the packets only have a pinch of seed. I have 2 plots, which I try to cram full, plus the greenhouse and a few veggies at home that the children sow. And, the plan is, if I look after them, hopefully I won't have to worry to much about seeds next year also. I don't sell any veg, but I do give surplus to the teachers at the childrens school and the neighbours, so it all goes to good homes in the end.
Cheers!
