    hi there

    good evening folks
    I am new to this site so thought I would introduce myself. I teach special needs children at a school near Dartford in Kent. Until recently we had a small school farm with a small herd of Dexter cows, 15 Southdown sheep plus chickens, ducks & rabbits. However due to the school being re built I had to close that section of the farm down. We now teach the youngsters about growing their own fruit & veg rather than animals. I also have two allotments which I took on at the back end of 2009 but due to the weather have not been able to get on with much. I am not really up to speed with allotment growing so I would like to apologise now for the silly questions & request for advice I am bound to post

      Hi F1, welcome to the vine, as binley has said don't think your questions are silly, we all have to start somewhere, it sounds like your going to have your hands full with 2 allotments, plus helping little ones to understand where there food come's from.

        Welcome F1, I have a stepdaughter with learning difficulties so take my hat off to you for teaching more than one. I'm over 1,000 post in & still ask silly questions so don't worry. Just enjoy the vine & it's wealth of knowledge.

                          Welcome on her flighty. i know you will enjoy your time on here and there are so many people with so much advice to offer.

                          And when your back stops aching,
                          And your hands begin to harden.
                          You will find yourself a partner,
                          In the glory of the garden.
