I've got two of his books and the videos to go with them. Paradse Gardens & Cottage gardens. One that may be a good one for you to keep an eye out for is his version of the Gardeners world book

We are all learning. I realised that I know nothing, but then....THINGS WANT TO GROW despite my ineptitude.

Sit back and enjoy.

I always look on gardenjng as an experiment with at least two chances, often to much information is at hand and you do nothing, often the info on the back of the seed packet is as good as any, and a keen pair of eyes to see what others are up to will help.
Most gardeners will be happy to help and pass on advise

Hi Percy, maybe if you vist
http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/htbg/module1/

you will find some to the answers you are looking for. It is an on line course of 9 parts that you can follow as a whole or pick out what you want. Part 7 ia about GYO. if you follow the part in sequence you will get a certificate to print out at the end. Will be offical then that you understand the basics.
If you get really hooked there is part 2 to work at/ look at too.

Sorry to go on and if i sound to teacherish but i grearing up of work tomorrow.

Most of all enjoy your gardening and eating the results.

Hi Percy T,

I am also in Croydon. I'll PM you. In the mean time - trust in nature, all those seeds want to grow, quick, easy crops that give satisfying results - beans, spinach, kale, leeks. If you are new to your lottie you will probably be inundated with advice and offers of help and plantlets, I know I was!

Good luck

Terry
