Hi all,
I've been mooching on this site since finding it by chance. Myself and my wife have only had our plot since December last year. Nether of us know what we're doing but we're having fun. Our plot is a new one on an organic farm near Ilkeston in Derbyshire. It started life as a cow field. Please don't ask for photos I haven't caught up with the modern age yet, I still own a camera with film. So far we have managed to grow potatoes, beans, leeks, broccoli, squashes, courgette, asparagus, turnip, kale, radishes and some herbs.
We want add a wildlife pond and some flowers to encourage pollinators, as we have bees on site.

Hello Meter Rat and Wife.. ;) ;D Gosh..you have done well for the first year...'so far managed' only that lot of veg....WELL DONE! You must be doing something right...and its been challenging summer as well! I'm only other side of the A38, so unless all the rain we've been lacking has landed on your side, for a 'newbie' you musn't be so humble.
Welcome to the site..and I hope to see your join to our rattling.. ;) ;D

Hi meter rat, I'm just down the road the other side of Risley, like Goodlife I've had a terribly dry season, mind you there have been a lot of black clouds north of here that maybe were yours...well done for starters, you've got a hobby for life! Oh, and I've been at it for 35 years and still don't know what I'm doing......

Hello Meter Rat and wife,

Only just found this "Intro" Thread so am saying a quick Hi from me Gazza and Judy.

We,ve had our Lotty since mid season 2010,but this year is our 1st to try and grow as much as we could from seeds.

It is just south of Heathrow airport in Middlesex.

Just a few pics of our plot.............






I guess our plot is about 50 x 40m,and although it was a right back breaker to get going its gradually shaping
and so far weve had a decent year enjoying the fruits of our efforts.


Many Thanks to those that have helped with questions as we are newbies to allotment things and look forward to participating when we can.

regards
