Hi all Hi
Just a quick introduction for myself
I started gardening a year or so ago, have had one full season at it so far
Started with the intention to get better quality more flavoursome produce
But as the price of food is rising so fast its starting to make even more sense to grow my own stuff
I am trying to be as organic as possible, I am really not into chemicals
In the last year or so I have put in a pond, three 3.6m*1m raised beds
And have a 8"*12" greenhouse I need to get built
Got my tomatoes, chillies, aubs etc started in jan and coming on nicely in the house
I have been a lurker for around 6 months. And thought it was about time I joined up
I hope to be able to produce us some food, and also promote as much wildlife as possible

Welcome Urban, sounds like you have made a good start. I am so jealous of the large green house you will have.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are probably right.

No need to lurk any more. I'm jealous of your pond already. Welcome.

A Warm Welsh Welcome to you Urban. Like the sound of what you've been doing so far - but only 6 months lurking? You're a novice at that!!

Welcome to the vine Urban, get that greenhouse up........
