Hello Grapevine.
Just want to take a few minutes to explain myself.
I started growing food with my granddad in his garden in the village of Mainsforth, Co Durham. He wasn't a wealth of information and to be honest isn't a great gardener, but he did provide the insperation that has seen me take on 3 plots since I was 16. I must add not all at the same time.
The plot I have today is poor, poor soil, poor location, poor pretty much everything. I had a wonderful plot, which I had to give up having met my future wife and moving to another village. The choice was the patch of weed choked scrub land or a window box. So naturally I picked the scrub....
I study my intrests with what my dad calls an obsessive compultion, whether its gardening or fishing. I have ammassed a large library of books and magazines with which to better myself and hope to pass on some of that here. I also hope to learn more and improve,with your help.

That plot sounds a bit like mine when I took it over, but the soil wasn't that bad once the weeds were cleared, hope yours turns out the same 
Good luck!
