Hello Bishop and welcome to the Vine. I too grow all my veg in a small garden, some in raised beds and some in containers (I also play chess but not too good, haven't played for a long time). Loads of useful and friendly advice on this forum. Good luck with your growing this year. What do you plan to grow?

Welcome to the Vine, Bishop - chess, eh - and there was me thinking you were Nicholas Wright!
I have lost the sunny end of my tiny back garden to a huge workshop/ shed so I am now only growing edibles on the allotment (except for a growbag of tomatoes and the odd pot of herbs). Loads of advice on all kinds of gardening here - and pictures are particularly welcome of different plants / growing arrangements / issues.

Just want to sneak a big hello in at this point. I see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing. I also know nothing. I never mind being a pawn in everyones game. Welcome Bishop.
