Oh that's a long list...
Potatoes incl some I grew from TPS last year
Carrots
Onions & Shallots
Garlic
Peas & Mangetout
Beans Broad, French & Borlotti and i'm doing a wee experiment with butterbeans this year.
Root Parsley
Celery
Corn
Lots of herbs
Sprouts, Cabbage x3, Caulies, swede
Toms, Cues, Melon, peppers, chili, aubergines (for the last time if these don't produce)
Beetroot
Salad leaves, spring onions
strawbs, blueberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, two apple trees and a plum
I'm sure I'll remember more lol
Oh I have sweet potato and lemongrass rooting in front of the telly.
I've got two greenhouses, one 17ft x 7ft (currently with no roof after the winds) The smaller is about 8ft x7ft and is used more as a sitting/tea making place and there is a wee 6x4 shed.
I started out with just the half plot and then took on the half plot next to it which has had most of the topsoil removed, scratching my head over that one.
Hi and thanks Digeroo :)

Hi, and welcome from me too.
Just to echo manicscousers, we'd love to see some pics - especially that greenhouse (wow)
;D

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Looks like I need to open an account with an image hosting site first, in the meantime you can have a look at some of my plot pics here...

Think i've got it sorted.
We built the greenhouse using old wooden framed windows ...
Initially we slabbed the inside and grew stuff in pots...
Last year we lifted some slabs and planted directly into the borders, this way we only had to water every few days...
This is the wee greenhouse that was already built when we took on the half plot next to us...
Everything is needing repaired and freshened up with some paint..........there is always next month (been saying that for 4yrs lol)

Hi,
Love the greenhouse, its huge and I'm a little envious! - well done, you've done some great work there.
p.s. don't worry about the paint and what not, my wife reckons the 'rustic' look is 'in'...
;D
