Hi everyone. Bit late in getting 'round to doing this but never mind.
I've been visiting this site, feverishly devouring info like a thing possessed, since I caught the gardening bug back in April; thanks to this video.

Back then, I cluelessly dived straight in and bought a 1x2m Linkabord raised bed and, get this... 12 cauliflower, 12 red cabbage and 12 curly kale plant plugs to put in it,
. That done, and with a few planted in what little available ground I had at the time, I set about giving away almost as many plugs as I had planted
. Live and learn.
Since then, every feasible vessel capable of retaining enough compost to grow something in it has had holes drilled into it and taken on a new incarnation as a plant pot. And, thank to you lovely and oh so informative folks on here, I have had success in varying degrees with just about everything I have planted; around twenty different kinds of veg, in all. No luck with the herbs, mind you. Caulis, no problem; basil, parsley, coriander... no joy at all. Who'd've thunk it.
Anyway, thank you one and all for your help thus far.

Parsley too - then plant it out in the garden where it keeps going for a year or two!
