    Hello everyone,

    I know I've been reading and occassionally posting on the vine for a while but I realised yesterday that I'd never really properly introduced myself - and I don't want to be rude!

    I'm 24 and live in Barrow-in-Furness (on the North-West Coast) and I have a plot at the bottom of the garden, having given up a lottie when I moved back from Lancaster after Uni. Any other grapes growing their own nearby?!

    My plot is a thin bed against the back wall and a bigger bed which, until last Summer, was a lawn. The long thin bed houses my two compost bins and the raspberry canes and strawberries I've put in over the last couple of months. The bigger bed will be split into four beds with paths between, although at the moment there are only a row of leeks, the start of a bean trench, some garlic and a weedy patch in there.

    I really appreciate all the advice and information I've gleaned from this forum and I've just started seed-swapping so I'm loving the interesting things people are kind enough to offer too! I'm getting really excited about this year and can't wait for the days to get longer so I can get outside after work.

    Hi Jenny - we left an allotment plot when we moved here - too far to go. So I began in the first spring systematically removing the back lawn! All gone now.

                Hello nice to meet you.
                When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
