Introducing LadyPlod!!

[LadyPlod]

Hi all,
Here's my intro.....
New allotment this May (waited years for it!!!) Now the proud owner of broken finger nails and hands that won't scrub clean! Got the family involved in this adventure. Kids have a small area where they are growing their own stuff and OH has his herb garden and I'VE GOT THE REST!!!!
Looking forward to harvesting something other than radishes soon, but think I was late this season in getting started so might be a bit behind!
Love, love, LOVING it all, even though I have little idea what I'm doing most of the time......
Got a question about sweet potato growing, so I'm off for help on the other forum!

I'm feeling the broken fingernails thing!!!

Welcome to the vine

One little thing - if you pop your location into your profile, then other grapes can give you more relevant advice!

Hi
Don't worry I planted late as well 2nd week in June before my beds were ready for planting so haven't had more than a few lettuce leaves yet. Hands that never clean me too I have to scrub before going to work as a home carer fortunately most of them knw I work in garden on days off!!

Ah what joy, by the time the sun has worked on you and then the wind in the winter, skin will be like well burnished toughened leather and the hands knarled like mangrove roots.

Aaaagh! Where do I do a profile thingy??? And I'd like to add a picture! I can't find anything to fill in at the moment Help pleeeeeeese!

[zazen999]

Go to user cp; its up the top in a green row - and you can edit stuff there. Can't wait to see the picture you choose!!!

[LadyPlod]

Thank you, think I've done it now, just looking for a piccie to put with it now!

Ooh, Zazen999, just seen the extra bit on your message box about moon trial....... is that the lunar planting I've been reading about, sowing according to the lunar cycle? I want to have a go myself next year, so I shall be interested in your results!

[zazen999]

Yes - moon trial now in progress. Moon crops doing marginally better thus far, but until I get harvests no decision made.

Got to get my calculator out and work out days to harvest the lettuces tho' - I feel a headache coming on.
