    Hello and welcome, you'll find a lot of helpful information on this site and here's to a happy harvest. Have you an allotment or garden, or are you container growing?

      Welcome. I joined myself fairly recently and IMHO it is one of the nicest forums around, gardening or otherwise. This is also my first full year of growing and I am enjoying all the mistakes I am making The guys here are a real help though and don't seem to mind people asking the same questions over and over again

      Hopefully I will be able to start harvesting shortly and I am trying not to eat all the peas as the pods ripen!

        Morning Ian - I actually managed to get some peas to the steamer this week. The taste is just incredible, sweet, sweet, sweet.

                  There is no truth in the rumour that members are sane.

                        We not sane we are just normal loonies, welcome to the madvine.

                        Peas, don't talk to me about peas. Froze 5kgs on Sunday, took three of us hours to pod them, almost lost the will to live.

                        Sill some Felthams producing so should finish those fresh in the next few days and then a clear bed - whooppee I can get my red kale in (Green went in the broadie bed a couple of days ago)
