Default Newbie on the patch

Hi all

I have signed up to the site today. Already a fan of the mag so thought i would join here and meet some like minded people.

I took on a 7x27m plot in january and have only managed some spuds, runners and summer squash so far. I am desperately trying to stay motivated as the ground is solid and those weeds are determined to send me under.....but i am committed and feel immediatly at peace the minute i unlock the allotment gate.

I'm always grateful for tips so feel free to pass them on. Any simple success stories to keep me motivated?

Keep smiling and growing

Samantha (AKA vegpatch)

I've been growing veg for 37 years and have a long attention span. So I am female! You get all sorts here! Welcome to the Vine. Don't let the weeds get you down. It sounds like you are a determined lady - go for it !
