Just noticed this thread - I'm still a lurker really although I do make the odd post too. I've just checked when I joined & it was June 2005 so I've obviously been reading since then!
I don't have a lottie :( but approx half the planting area in our garden is my "veg patch" & I've also just been given a 6x8 greenhouse - my existing one was 6x4 so I can't wait to get going on this new one!
Since we got our garden reasonably sorted I've been growing my veggies - normally chillies, peppers, courgettes, toms, cukes, salad, radish, french beans & a few "guest stars" - mini sweetcorn the first year which was fantastic but took up far too much room really. This year I've given up the toms as they were shocking last year & I'm trying potatoes, baby cauli, melons, aubergines & mini cucumbers for the first time.
I'd LOVE a real lottie but will have to wait until I have more time to look after it - i.e. when we can afford for me to work part-time!
So far I've found this to be a great site - full of really helpful people always willing to give you the benefit of their experience (I sat at home the other night & made 20 newspaper pots the other night after finding info on here). I've also done a couple of seed swaps & given some other seeds away - and now I've got a bigger greenhouse I'll definitely have the biggest Tigger Melon!
;D
