a Yorkshire newbie

[AitchEm]

Hello to all from a newbie to the site, i have enjoyed 'pottering' in my garden for many a year, but last year i got my first allotment. Its been hard work getting it into shape, but its looking ok and i am beginning to plant out my veggies. Fingers x'd for a successful harvest lolol

Afternoon


Welcome - From another one in sunny West Yorkshire(well, sunny for the time being, at least )

Hi citygirl, yep, was sunny for a while, uncovered all my 'tenderlings' ,after the rush last night when frost was forecast, to cover them all up. Awoke to sunshine and not a sign of frost lol. Oh well better to be safe than sorry.

Hello and welcome. It's true about the well 'ard Yorkie seedlings..........sadly it's also true about well 'ard Yorkie slugs.

[citygirl]

ahh was thinking bout that. all my stuff is in pots. cus all i've got is a paved yard. so i'm thinking that white petroleum jelly on the pots might work(saw someone else recommend it on here i think...)

hello yorkie folks, the well 'ard yorkie slugs fall fowl to my well 'ard proberbly not from yorkshire copper tape around all my containers in the back yard and nemaslug keeps them to a reasonable leval on the plot.
zanussi your near me wheres your plot?

[zanussi101]

i haven't got an allotment (yet!) i'm just growing in the back garden at the moment. we moved here about 6 months ago and dug up a bit of lawn to build raised beds and my OH is almost finished building me a greenhouse, but we need more space! There are some allotments near us on Rochdale Rd in Greetland and i'm trying to get on the waiting list there. I don't drive so the others in the area are too far away.
Where are you based?
