hi veggiechecken, i'v only got my garden at the moment, but its not a bad size and i'm slowly aquiring more of it off the kids all the time, i'v got 5 raised beds 1x2m and a 6x6ft greenhouse at the moment with more planned as the wife allows.
hi weekendwellies, still not sure what im planning to grow alltogether yet, i'v got all my toms, peppers and chillies on the go plus some salads and herbs sown, hoping to get some brassicas and spuds done this weekend and plan on starting a pond if the weather allows.Comment

Croeso Mike from another Grape from South Wales! Starting out is so exciting - sounds silly but grow what you and the family like to eat. It SO easy to get carried away with the seed catalogues - as a few of us on here know only too well.............

Welcome to the vine, love the name.
The trouble with growing things is that then you want to start cooking more, and that creates more washing up. I'm all for salads
