Default New to the vine

Hiya

I am not a newbie in the garden, but have been lurking in here for a while and thought I would join.

I live on the Kent/Sussex border, with a south facing back garden.

I don't really do flowers, a few fuscias out the front and some marigolds for random placing in the carrots.

I have 5 raised beds. 2 are 120 x 120, 1 is 120 x 240 and the last 2 are 120 x 360. I have a greenhouse which is 11 x 8 and a strawberry bed which runs the length of the greenhouse outside.

I have some raspberries, tayberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries and rhubarb at the top of the garden and the rest is turfed, albeit looking very shabby and mossy under the trampoline.

I grow spuds in mail sacks all around the edges of the garden, this year I have mayan gold, salad blue and highland burgundy red.

Runner beans grow up a fence behind the raised beds.

Tomatoes go in the greenhouse and some in pots on the patio.

I am a total seed hoarder and have far too many for my own good!

And I got my first cherry tree today.....hup hup huzah!

There is loads more, but I can talk about this stuff all day and I will bore you all witless!
