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....

Your plot looks great.
What part of Manchester are you in? Just wondered which bit the sun shone, did i miss something :D
Hi everyone - thanks for the welcome!

Hello, Nice plot, very tidy. I must ask this. Does it really rain a lot in Manchester. Welcome to the site

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 :)
Hi and welcome! Are all the nettles in the soup? ;) Plot looks great.

Hi 'Soup
I'm just up the road from you in Ashton. I'll be posting pics of progress on our lottie soon.
*wave* to everyone else I've not spoken to for a while - been too busy redecorating the plot! ;D

I'm an exile from Rossendale... where it rains even more than Manchester.. could do with some rain here!
