Evening all!

[Burgerboy]

I thought that I would finally introduce myself. My names steve and I live with my wife and kids in Lydney in the forest of dean.
Have got back to in to veg growing in the last couple of years after having no involvment since childhood. We now have a 60ftx50ft veg patch a couple of large raised beds and two greenhouses 12x8 and 10x8. We also have ten hens in the back garden, we are lucky in the fact there is quite a lot of space 120ftx60ft to play with.
From reading through a lot of posts there is a large amount of valuable information on here and I hope in time to add to this to.
cheers
steve
