The wait is over!
With spring in (almost) full bloom and summer approaching, those with green fingers have one thing in mind – gardening. No matter if you have a big back or front garden or a couple of window boxes, we want to know what you're planning to plant or have already planted!
Do you have a fresh herb garden, a veggie garden or a pretty wildflower garden? Pictures are encouraged!

POLL: How often do you change your cutting board?
Comments (40)I never, ever change mine. I use a butcher block and a huge thick wooden cutting board, only taking care to keep my fruits from suddenly tasting like onions or garlic. Studies have shown that a wooden cutting board is naturally resistant to bacteria, so I scrape and then wash mine off with soap and water after use. All this absurd paranoia about cleanliness is the product of marketing, not science, and the supposedly more sterile plastic ones are actually much better petri dishes for bacterial growth, which is why they must be cleaned and disposed of regularly. Fine if you want to keep plastic cutting board manufacturers in China working, but not at all safer or cleaner....See MorePOLL: What time do you eat dinner?

Comments (6)I hate cooking. Although I am a pretty good cook (trained by my Italian mum) I just find it a bore. Hate that awful "What shall we have tonight" moment too when I've been too busy or tired to plan. I find cooking for friends - the planning, the shopping, the cooking, laying the table, cleaning the house the day before etc so laborious. Much prefer eating out - I can then concentrate on my family and friends without the stress. It means I can enjoy myself too. A bit heavier on the purse but well worth....See MorePOLL: Do you have a fireplace in your living room?
Comments (50)A flickering flame surrounded by ancient carved stone - Antique stone fireplaces add both character and a sense of place to any room, the knocks and bumps of the decades nay centuries, connecting hearth to home. Even with the advent of central and underfloor heating we crave that focal gathering point that a fireplace provides - a room without a fireplace? Nowhere to hang the picture, mirror or tapestry, no were to put your cards and certainly no place to hang your Christmas stocking!...See More
