    Hi I'm Al, 35, I seem to have become a hobby gardener over the past 3-4 years.
    We have a large back garden with our ex council house. It was total waste ground untill I got my digger and ripped everything out to start again. All new boundaries, layered hedge. I built a big man cave/ kids den/ garden Room.
    We didn't know what to do with the garden but decided to have a small bed in the corner and I'd build raised planters out of the left over shed material.
    I now really enjoy it and I regret not doing the whole garden as a plot but I've since moved the raised planters and created 2 more beds so I can now crop rotate.
    Im just learning as I go along, it's a bit of fun and I get some sort of me time when I tend to the garden. Its busy here with three kids and four dogs and a kitchen rotwiler.
    I just grow basic stuff, potatoes onions, beet, few brassicas, I put peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. Peas, beans, leeks.
    I only grow what I like to eat, and if something good enough turns out for the village show then so be it.

    Hello and welcome, Albwth.

    For the first few years, I changed my veg plot design every year. Still tinkering...

    We have three dogs and they are terrors for eating stuff in the veg patch. I've had to fence it in. Potatoes, melons, tomatoes and peppers are top favourites with them.

    Best wishes for a great growing year.
