    2006 was when I started trying to grow stuff. Still consider myself a novice, with more enthusiasm than skill!!

        I have been gardening since I was little on and off so over 50 years, I have only had an allotment for 18 months and consider myself a newbie.

          I voted "5-10" as a compromise - I used to help my dad in the garden back in the 1970s, but I didn't start growing my own veg regularly until 2005, and I got my lottie in summer 2006. I feel pretty confident on the basics, but I haven't mastered all aspects of veg-growing by any stretch of the imagination!

                  As long as i can remember, but there's still loads to learn
                  I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

                    Couple o'years, and a couple o'months now. I wouldn't really say I've been "gardening" per se, just pottering really. I'm a dabbler.

                      i've been killing house plants all my life .... did lots of growing stuff while growing up, but haven't had a garden from aged 16 till 4 years ago, and have only been actively intending to grow stuff since last year .... before that things grew or didn't...... now things grow or don't in a much more orderly fashion

                            A couple of years just, so still learning, but loving it.

                              How long have you been gardenning?

                              My earliest memory is about 1945/6. We had walked home across the park, and the land had been used to grow wheat. (Now there's an idea). I must have picked some up because my mom put one, in some garden dirt, in a fish paste pot where it grew a fair few inches. I then planted it out in my own little garden.
