Just saying hello really. Ive left a question about egyptian onions but have now realised that i didn't introduce myself or even say hello.
My names sophie and I'm 19. I'm an art student and the allotment doesn't really belong to me. Its my brothers.
But its me who has to pull out all of the couch grass.
So if anyone has any general tips or advice on allotments or life, i'd be pleased to hear it.
I'm only young. I need all of the help i can get.
Thank you.
;D ;D ;D
Hey Sophie! Welcome to the madhouse!
Great to hear that you enjoy the plot, hope your brother gives you lots of great stuff to eat after dealing with the dreaded couch!
Egyptian Walking Onions...I had to ask what they were recently. Think the swap is over now :'(
If you look at the top of this screen there is a bit which says "search" click on it and fill in the subject and all sorts of great info will be there for you. Also check the "wiki" lots of really useful stuff in there too.
;)
Welcome in Sophie ........ if only there were more like you !
have you never heard "what's yours is mine and what's mine's me own" ? Rule No. 359 in the rule book states, she who pulls couch is entitled to claim the land!
;D
Welcome Sophie. Plenty of help on here, just ask the questions. Good luck.
Lorna
Hi Sophie,
I'm relatively new as well, good luck. I find the whole thing really theraputic when life is a bit stressful. This site is great, ask whatever you want.
i know exactly what you mean newbie. Everyone has been so lovely. Has left me quite feeling quite emotional. I'm sending out a big hug to you all
Lol...not that lovely Sophie! The wiki is out of action at the moment, so I gave you rubbish info!
;)
Dont worry you win some you lose some
Hello Sophie!
Happy you've found your way here 8) You'll get lots of great help - not least on how to keep Big Brother in line ;D
I expect you've seen the thread on Egyptian Walking onions by now...I've sent off all my spare bulbils to peeps here except for poss 3 or 4? Not many, I know, but PM me with your address & I'll get them off to you. Pot them up now (or plant directly into a couch-free part of the lottie that you've prepared earlier :P), mark them with a stick...and wait...veggie gardening's a lot about waiting.... ;D
Cheers! Lishka
and planning. a lot of planning goes on !
;D
19! I remember the days......so many moons ago..... ;D

No!.....but it helps ;D Lots of veggie-growing/veggie-eating/chocoholics here, is all :P
Sophie. Glad you like chocolate. I suggest you bribe your brother with some delicious chocolate then I am sure he will promote you ::)
Lish would do anything for a few bars of chocolate!!
literally anything.
:o 8)
Hey KP is that a question or a statement ,(a well known fact) I actually meant giving advice or sending seeds, if she gets a waft of chocolate her garden becomes your garden!!
Well! Anyway, have pre-empted you lot..have already PM'd My Friend Soph 8) and told her that you chocoholic lot will do ANYTHING for out-of-date possibly salmonella -laden (allegedly) choc from the local factory, so she's been well warned to keep away from your unsavoury influence until she's at least 21 (stone, that is)... ;D
An Secondly, she's going to become a Member of an Even More Illustrious Society......that of The Egyptian Walking Onion Club (home base....yep, my garden) 8) 8) 8)
An no chocolat asked for in return.....(but, if it's offered....? ::))
My first A4A seeds came from Lish strangely enough ! ;D No choclit though :'(
I would be glad to give you chocolate.
Just name your brand :D
On a serious note.(see I can be serious) that named person has today offerred to try and get me some seeds from Wyvale (not one near me), and Sophie keep an eye on the Swaps threads, some nice people on here who willingly send seeds.Last year was my first year and I had no end of help from different members. I received regular deliveries from Georgie. Eric kindly sent me snowdrops in the green when he heard that my little snowdrop bulbs hadn't come to anything. I wanted them for my husbands grave. Several other members have also sent me seeds..All in all a very generous group of people.
Lorna.
and don't worry if you think you haven't got anything to swap in return. people often don't worry if you have or haven't, but in anycase by this time next year, you'll have a suitcase full and still find room for more.
;D
Whats that about chocolate missed it again :D
Must have at least two bars a day or I get ill. ::)
Welcome and you know women are the stronger
sex so wont be long till the 'lottie is all yours. ;D
