Lol and lol!

It's the same where we are in PA and I think it's really nice. But I don't know why it's not that way in the UK. I grew up on a pretty nice street, quiet road, private street-owned gardens and so on and there were still break-ins and cars got stolen... sometimes I think it's maybe just because it's such a small place so it's easy to get from one area to another, but I don't know really... Again, we were watching the news the other night and people had been putting furniture (patio chairs, recliners!) to save their car space in Philly after they had cleared the snow and we were just saying at home someone would just lift it, it wouldn't be any use - you'd lose your car space and your patio chairs!! Sad reflection.

I have a while to plan a gardening club as I'm not going to be back in Edinburgh until this summer but am trying to get lots of ideas and so on so I can get going on it as soon as I get back. Although I think the garden project might be next year but if I could get a few people interested we could work on something late summer. Another problem would be if no-one else is interested and people don't want a veggie garden. And they're not all students.... just a pretty large percentage. Will definitely start gathering info on garden clubs I think though. All suggestions welcome! :-)

The window boxes are a definite project for me for this summer though, I'll probably buy plants when I get back rather than growing from seed. I found these, they are mounted on a bar and are really cool but pretty expensive. Maybe I can improvise.
