Hey,

My names AJ and I am a new member and just thought i would say hi. Sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I have recently taken on a bit of an overgrown plot in Cambridgeshire and I am slowly bringing it round although i can see it will take years. Anyway just a quick message to say hi...

Yes Jason do get lots of spuds in it certainly does break up the soil, and look at what you get as well must be good EH!!!!. You can also make a teepee?? frame and grow some runner beans. Put some tomatoes in and they can all be growing while you sort out your lottie.  Cheers  RB.

Hi AJ and Jason, welcome on board. Lots of places selling half price seeds so stock up ready for next year and people are very kind in Swap Shop if you're looking for something a little different or only want a few of something to try before you buy.
