  • Hello from Sunny Surrey!

    Hello people!

    I'm a new member, I've posted once already.

    I'm a young allotmenteer (25) named Rob AKA Forkin' Marvellous or ForkinMarv for short or just Marv.

    Anyway I started growing veggies about 5 years ago when I bought a lemon tree. I got addicted to that and moved onto Chillies in the summer of 2013 using just four growbags and a few pots.... The need for space consumed me and I took on the allotment in June 2013. The Allotment is on Terrace Road in Walton upon Thames and is run by the Walton Charity.

    After many months of hard graft it's gone from this:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnBSRfXCMAAqkK4.jpg:large

    It's been a good first year with plenty of veggies and the addition of a greenhouse and a poly greenhouse. Plenty to look forward too....

    If you want to keep up with my progress I post regularly on TWITTER!

              A very warm welcome to the forum, dear Rob.
              Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
              Everything is worthy of kindness.
