I've just come across this thread and now I feel much better. I'm a novice to gardening and don't have an allotment, just a garden patch that keeps expanding as I ask my partner to just dig a little bit more lawn up (I hope our landlord doesn't object ) or build a new raised bed.

Anyway I realise my veggies aren't up to a very high standard as yet and I grow to eat rather than show but I thought it'd be a laugh to enter a few piccies, especially as there didn't seem to be many entries.

I was just thinking of deleting them all now that some of you experts have started adding yours but I am reassured it's just for fun so there they'll stay.

As a newcomer it's always hard to get established on a chat board because many of you have history but what I say is if you don't post you'll never become a proper member
