Anyone been on one? I'm thinking of doing the 'growing veggies all year' course.

Joined as a Friend three weeks ago - thus saving the entire joining fee in course discounts, will be going on six before the end of the year! :D
Would be lovely to see you there at veg all the year round - at least one other A4a-er will be there too 8)

So will you be there 14th october SS??? I have now booked on that date for the Growing Veg All Year Round course... would be lovely to meet up.  One of my work colleagues may be attending though not sure yet!

OliveOil, I'm coming too, and looking forward to it!

Now also looking forward to meeting you as well, I've met SS before, and will be great to spend the day with you both, and learn much more about growing Veg

See you on 14th

Oh WOW - its a party!!!

I'll be the one with no cuticles, short broken brown ingrained nails, messy hair, no makeup, look like i rolled out of bed LOL

Gosh i dont even know where Barnsdale is LOL - is it near rutland waters?

[OliveOil]

OOO another idea - I have lots of seeds - do you guys fancy a seed swop on that day???  I'll sort through and bag up what i have spare.

Really looking forward to it now, I don't have many seeds to swap. but will bring a few with me. :)

I thought that that would be me! only difference being that I'll also be the one with unusual coloured hair - at the moment it's orange! ;D

By the way is very near Rutland waters, I've PMd SS to see if she wants to meet up on route somewhere, She comes from Peterborough, and I have to drive through there to get to Barnsdale, if you are that way as well PM me and we could try to sort something out

A great place to visit with a nice garden centre and the refreshments were fantastic.

Hi all, I too was at the course at Barnsdale yesterday with Supersprout and Oliveoil and some very nice ladies who also wanted to learn about growing veg all year round................................It was fantastic, it's a great place, and Nick Hamilton is enthusiastic and encouraging, and a great trainer. I have learned soooooooooooo much, need to read through notes and type them all up today - before I forget it all again!

Big thanks to SS & OO for making the day!  ;D
