Hi Everyone

Hi everyone I’m Ashley.

Hi Ashley, and welcome!
Can I just clear something up real quick? It doesn't matter a jot to me but your post has left me wondering...

I have been planting and growing for over nine years now. Having grown my first bean plants at the age of six

Are you 15? Or is there a bit of a chronological gap there?
The managing the greenhouse bit makes me suspect you're not, but I just had to ask!
(If you are 15 on the other hand - nice work managing a demo greenhouse already!)

Haha

Thanks for all the nice comments, i'm supposed to be working but when I find the time i'll add a few comments on here. Just don't tell the boss

And there is definitely a chronological gap Organic, The first plants I grew were beans at the age of six in my grans garden. I also grew raspberries too, then I went to Myerscough and then on to Reading Uni studying Horticulture. I love growing plants, in the glasshouse I have ginger, rice, papaya, cardamom, pineapples, lemon grass, tom's, peppers, beans and a few other things like tobacco, bananas, and hydro strawberry plants. The glass house is full to the brim.

Sounds great, Ashley. I'm sad to report I'm still greenhouse-less. I'm still waiting for word about a free greenhouse I'm in the slot for if it materialises, but so far I've not heard a whole lot and can't really afford to buy one at the moment.
I'll be growing a fair few of the things you've listed when I can... though probably not all or to the same kind of quantities.

Organic, have you tried http://www.freecycle.org/display.php...ited%20Kingdom they may have something on there. I haven't used the site personally, but I know friends in London that have and some of the stuff is really good. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
