Hey Rach

I nearly called you Jack - I thought your name was a play on Kerouac. Kiriwach see.

You'll find plenty of helpful and friendly advice on here, good luck.

Maybe I shouldn't have that other glass of red...

Hi Flummery, thanks for the welcome.
I'll be growing the usuals....got lots of seedlings on the go. I'm not straying to far off the beaten track this year....just get onto the lottie, establish what i've got so far, grow some compost!!! and then next year branch out a little more!!.
altho....this morning i brought a boysenberry plant, so need to check the growing info on that....tis not in my books!.

Hello Kiwirach - I just joined today as well. Not got allotment - will probably be retired by the time I do so have got three raised beds in back garden. Last year had wonderful salads, various beans, peas, herbs etc. Disastrous time with brassicas - wanted to grow things like romanescu and purple sprouting which I love but nothing seemed to happen - lots of leaves no heads!!! This year have got tumbling toms in baskets in dining room, loads of basil (too much) and garlic/shallots from autumn planting. Have also put in raspberry canes so hoping for fruit. Any advice on things that are unusual, easy and don't take up too much room?
