Hello (waves from West Kent)

Ahh good to see a few more maids here :-)

Hi BumbleB I'm in Canterbury

[graybag]

Hi,

I'm from the London end, in Bexley! Last year I had two tomato plants and two chilli plants. I had the chilli plants indoors, put them outside and they seemed to die in a day - lesson learnt!

This year I've cleared cleared a 4.5Mx4.5M area of bark (used to have a climbing frame in), laid some turf and i've built a 4.5Mx1.5M raised bed. Lots going on in my mini greenhouse and just getting ready to plant stuff up!

Becki - which bit are you in? We're in Singleton.

Hi Sonata, currently we are in the 'Quantock' area, but will soon be moving to our new self-build house at Charing - its very exciting.

[BumbleB]

Hi Cloud, we are off to Canterbury shopping today :-)

Graybag, Hi, I am from Bexley and still travel back and forth for 'minding' duties!

Becki, a self build, how exciting!! Oh you will have to have an 'open' day there.

Hi all!

Only just seen this thread. I am from Kent too, just outside of Maidstone! This is my third year of having an allotment and there's still much to learn! We have friendly robins on the plot too - we had three all at once the other day. They are so friendly and sit right by us when we are digging or weeding. Just lovely to hear them sing! Sharon

[BumbleB]

Hi Kayt and Sharon
A few more kent folk ! handy for plant swops etc

[Sonata]

I have just responded on another thread re a grape swop. It might be an idea to arrange a plant/seed swop for kent grapes. We could meet somewhere central and swop our excess. Or arrange for next season.

[NOG]

There is a big seed swap at Brighton every year. I am trying to orgaqnise one in Croydon next year.

[BumbleB]

Hi Nog. What month would you arrange for this, and would you pre advise. I.e. as is would you suggest grapes sow extra plants in order to be able to swop. I still have some surplus tom plants and I am on holiday next week so have been giving them to neighbours etc but if I had thought earlier we could have arranged something in April or early May for everyone with surplus etc.
