Soylent Green is People!

[Soylent Green]

Hi All,
My name is Steve, I'm 44 years old, I live in Coventry, West Midlands and I've recently dug up the whole of my garden and installed raised beds in the hope that I can grow all my fruit and veg needs.

I'm looking forward to reading up on all the great info on this forum and making some new friends, so hello all!

Hi binley100,

Thank you all for the warm welcomes I'm very interested in Permaculture, Food Forests and Square Foot Gardening. I have worked in wildlife and environmental conservation over the years, but now I just want to put good food and drink on the table. The wife and I have always wanted to do 'The Good Life' and well with the way the world is going it seems to be the sensible solution to our stretched finances. I have grown fruit and veg at various times in my life, but this is my first season that I'm taking it serious. So far I've had a good crop of Broad Beans and spuds, also salad leaves and gherkins, all of which go into our homemade dishes. I think I'm going to like this forum, most people I know think growing fruit and veg is boring, they are so wrong and it's all I think about of late and I find myself wishing I was in the garden when I'm away from it for any length of time.

I've plenty of questions and I like to have a laugh too!

Thanks again

Hey Steve Welcome to what has proved to be a mine of information and encouragement for this newbie. Good luck here and in the garden too. Gardening is not boring that is just a thing dreamt up to keep us obsessives out of the real good stuff ....
