Welcome!  Advice? Well, you'll already have read most of it, as we've had quite a few new plotters recently. Same as always:

Dig some, cover some, plan your plot layout, get your seed collection together.

Right then, off you go!

;D

Hi mrf94, we were in exactly the same position as you this time last year, new  plot which we had just just strimed down to get rid of 6 years of weeds and brambles. We have ended up having a brilliant growing year despite the appaling summer weather. I hope you enjoy it, good luck and welcome to this website!! People here really are great, you'll get all the advice and shoulders to cry on here!!!  ;D
