Hi and welcome. What sort of things are you growing? I'm growing (it seems) dozens of kinds of climbing bean and lots of tomatoes - sounds like an Italian recipe eh? I also love all the onion family and new potatoes.

Hi raftrier

Making mistakes is part of the journey - probably the easiet way to learn hopw not to do something too. Don't get too het up about getting things wrong, just enjoy it.

I've found my blog is a really easy way to keep tabs on what I'm doing (I have the memory of a brainless goldfish) and what I've done - rightly or wrongly.

Good luck - and this is the best place for advice, guidance and a little fun along the way.

Hi there - wow that's a lot of produce you'll have!
Can you put your blog address as a signature line so we can see (or do you want it private?)
