Hi Paula and welcome to the Forum. As you've seen there's lot of friendly advice here - and quite a few totally irrelevant topics too If you're as mad as your name suggests you'll fit in well
I'm sure somebody sane will be along soon...........

Hello Paula and welcome to the Vine. Not sure that I qualify as sane, but never mind.

Could you add your location to your profile please, then it will show up on your posts and we won't have to keep asking where you are.

Snails ate a lot of my crops this year

Hi Paula. Welcome to the vine. It's not actually a CH.............S forum despite the nature of some of the recent.

Bet you can't guess which allotment site I'm on! Goo luck with the raised bed project. It's the way to go.....

[veggiechicken]

Do you two know each other?
If so, Paula, you have my sympathy

[Florence Fennel]

Hello Paula and a very warm welcome to the Vine

[Newton]

I don't think so VC! We just happen to live on the same peninsula.......and my name is also my allotment name!

[veggiechicken]

I'll still keep my fingers crossed for Paula...........

Hi Paula - I am just over the water from you ( as us scousers say ) in Warrington - don't worry everything ate all my stuff as well!

Hello from down here where the snails and slugs have also had a feast.

I'm mad at cats at the moment as one of the kittens has just piddled on the spare bed.
