    Welcome! Looks a nice tidy plot already. Either you've put alot of work into it already or you were lucky enough to inherit a plot in reasonable nick. Basically, the world is your oyster as regards growing stuff, now is the perfect time to sow pretty much anything. Hang on a couple of weeks yet for runners/french beans, needs to get a bit warmer for those, but spuds, carrots, beetroot, peas and possibly parsnips and broad beans if you hurry but never sown those two this late myself (there will be someone along presently to advise you further). Always grown stuff at home in my (sheltered) garden, but got our first lottie last May, so this is our first full season, so will be a steep learning curve. The folks on here are very helpful and friendly though.

    Enjoy!!!!
    Are y'oroight booy?

      Welcome Twoflower. Everything's looking fab already. It won't be long before you are joining the 'plantaholics' in rehab.
      Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are probably right.

                      Come to the site twoflower

                      Looks like you got off to a good start. I recently took over the plot at the beginning of April and got most of mine cleared. Keep us updated

                          Thanks all
                          I have spent a good few weeks to get this plot up and running as when we all got there it was just a field , - the site has only been going a short time.
                          I am good at the Digging bit lol but i am still a novice when it comes to the rest ,
                          I have started to grow runner beans, broad beans and peas from seeds at home and am planning on planting carrots etc straight in to the ground once it stops raining .
                          I still need to finish building my fruit cage though xx

                              "I saw an old post on here regarding a DM and wondered if anyone had one - or any parts of one and any of the instruction books etc for one - or where i could find any of the above"

                              I think Bearded Bloke has now answered you on the DM thread that you posted on
