Hi I'm Al, 35, I seem to have become a hobby gardener over the past 3-4 years.
We have a large back garden with our ex council house. It was total waste ground untill I got my digger and ripped everything out to start again. All new boundaries, layered hedge. I built a big man cave/ kids den/ garden Room.
We didn't know what to do with the garden but decided to have a small bed in the corner and I'd build raised planters out of the left over shed material.
I now really enjoy it and I regret not doing the whole garden as a plot but I've since moved the raised planters and created 2 more beds so I can now crop rotate.
Im just learning as I go along, it's a bit of fun and I get some sort of me time when I tend to the garden. Its busy here with three kids and four dogs and a kitchen rotwiler.
I just grow basic stuff, potatoes onions, beet, few brassicas, I put peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. Peas, beans, leeks.
I only grow what I like to eat, and if something good enough turns out for the village show then so be it.
