Hello, I am Julie and I love my garden

I have been interested in gardening for 12 years, and designed the garden in my last house - but this time, in my new house I have a newly created veg/fruit area. I had just got the side of the house looking pretty, flowery shrubs, nicely mown lawn etc when I sat down for a well earned cuppa and had a eureka moment..... I needed a greenhouse and raised planting!! Fast forward to today, I have a nice lean too and a fabby raised bed with pine sleepers.

I am currently having a go at Onions, Broccoli, Parsnips, Carrotts, Peas, Mange Tout, Lettuce, Strawbs (basket and regular), Spinach, Parsley, Loganberries, Patty Pan pumpkins, celery, asparagus.... lots of stuff since I was only supposed to be dabbling this year

I have 2 little kids that are just getting to the ages where I can have some more 'me' time and I am wanting to invest a lot of this time in my garden.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to learning from you guys and sharing my experiences etc.
