Hello !
« on: April 08, 2007, 19:30:13 »
Just wanted to say hello to everyone on this great forum (I have been lurking a while - plucking up the courage to join in!).  I am very new to allotments and have been working hard over the last few weeks on my very first veg plots.  I have plenty growing at home in pots (kale, cauli, rocket, lettuce) and have just planted beetroot, turnip, radish on the plot.  I love the peace and quiet on there plus the idea of actually harvesting something I have grown (if all goes to plan!!).  I have attached a picture below - taken a few weeks ago.  Nearly forgot -  I am located in the sunny suburbs of Manchester.  I am sure I will be asking tons of questions over the next few months....

And Hello back from me-and welcome. I can well understand your reluctance to join this mad house-but given time we are mostly house trained :)

HI there, looks like you have tamed your plot quite nicely! ;D
Smile at your enemies.

It makes them wonder what you are up to.

it doesn't rain as much as they say, shirlton but methinks the southern people will be looking for some rain this year if the weather forecast is to be believed..
welcome, another northener, your plot looks great, looking forward to seeing it planted up  :)
