New for May ..... ME!!
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.

Oh welcome and enjoy Julie. When the children are small is a good time to relax in the garden. The tension just disappears. Wonderful. I can still remember trotting outside whilst counting to 1million!! I would soon be nice and calm again.

And a merry welcome from Trousers and myself as well Greenplover.
Growing Your Own becomes ever more addictive? Do you know - Trousers said last week that I've become OBSESSIVE about Growing? I don't know WHAT he means!!! Enjoy yourself. We're all here when you need us, and I hope you'll be here when we need your advice too?

You're obsessive when you dream about it too Wellie - like I do! welcome to the grapevine Julie. If that's what you are growing when you're dabbling, what will you be like when you really get stuck in?

Welcome!
Looks like you're from the same area as me! I've always wanted to try things like Patty Pan Pumpkins but unfortunately I only have a small patio at the moment until I either move house or move up on the allotment waiting list. I still manage to grow quite a bit though.
