Hello

[pipkins]

Hi,

I am Sara

I live in SE London and have recently become a veg grower.

We have a half plot which we got in March this year and it has been great, hard work and fairly productive for a newbie and family.

Looking forward to a proper year of growing

Hi Sara, you're very welcome to the vine! It's great to see so many new people catching the growing bug! There are loads of very knowledgeable grapes here, with a wealth of experience (thankfully!). The rest of us share the little we know and try soak up the advice being given. I hope you'll enjoy getting to know us.

Good luck with the growing.

Welcome Sara.
I echo what Sweetiepea has already said. There is a wealth of information on this vine as you will quickly see.

Holy Cardoons! That's one great looking plot - a lot of hard work has gone in there.

Welcome aboard the good ship Grapevine, she'll carry you well.

Wow, you have been busy - very nice raised beds you've got there pipkins. Where abouts in Sarf London are you? My mother was born in Bromley, and I went to college in Chislehurst.

Hi Becki,

I live on Plumstead Common and the plot is a 15 min walk from the house.

Thanks again for the welcome

I wonder if I have any local grapes?
