hehe, we get our shopping delivered, so unless you're a driver for whatever supermarket we use then you'll more likely see me in Pugh's or Wyevale :p

Hi All,
Over two years ago we were lucky to get an allotment, well after a 2 1/2 year wait. After the first year of flapping and trying to clear the site from the stuff people had dumped and were still dumping as we put the fence up, we managed to start clearing the weeds. We have had a lovely crop of potatoes, celery, corn, peas, beetroot and strawberries.
We have adopted 4 ex battery hens from the British Hen Welfare Trust, well I think really they adopted us and helped us clear the place up.
Thought I would join to find out interesting tips and also where to get things from apart from the dreaded B and Q. People usually keep to themselves where we are which is a shame because I am sure they have a wealth on knowledge.
Thank you for letting me join

Welcome mue! The forums are a bit quiet right now but it won't be long before everyone wakes up to the new growing season.
There are a lot of very friendly and knowledgeable people around who will love to share their expertise with you, so ask away!

Hello and welcome Mue.
If you have grown celery you may be able to give a few tips out yourself. It is not the easiest crop! :D

Thank you all for letting me join. So far this year I have planted out my garlic. Onion seeds are growing nicely in the cold cheap greenhouse we have. Together we are digging over areas of the garden ready for planting. And the ex batt hens are scratching every where for us. They are not touching the garlic.
