  • Hi All

    Hi,

    I've been growing mostly veg in my garden for a few years now alongside the odd bit of fruit (strawberries, alpine strawberries, rhubarb and blueberries). Alongside my 9 year old son, though he tends to get bored after planting seeds.

    I've recently been offered an allotment after being on the list for around 5 years which I've been to view but not got a key for yet so its exciting times.

    This year I want to focus on expanding my fruit collection, improving my soil which I discovered after digging my lawn up was really stoney and starting my allotment plot.

    I've been hovering on here for a while and got some great advice.

      Hi and welcome to the vine.
      Well done for getting a plot after such a wait.
      I get my kids to help plant bulbs and seeds by telling them its time to wake the them up and to see what comes up first.
      Great bunch here always offering help and advice to any problems or queries you have

        Thanks Nicos and Noviceveggrower.

        I am really excited to have an allotment but also a bit nervous as its a lot of work so I may have to rope in some helpers!

        My son enjoys planting seeds (all over the place) he always has his own bit of the garden and likes watering that but hes not keen on the weeding or digging, then again neither am I.

        I'm sure I'll be on here a lot in the coming months.
