  • Hi everyone

    Hi there,
    My name is Paula and I go under Noviceveggrower cause really I do only know the basics.
    Have had my plot for nearly 10 months now. Have had a patch hit and miss first season but have already got my plans ready for Spring.
    One of the main reasons for the allotment is for my kids to enjoy themselves down there and to learn about food and the nature around us. Also very selfishly for me to get a break. My youngest has a speech and language development problems and I find myself going here there and everywhere with him. I use to work but have taken 12 months out to take him to various places and see various people.
    I do have some raised beds at home but I find that when I am at home I never get any peace and always have somebody down the garden with me or pestering me.
    Hopefully he will be able to go to mainstream school in September.Then I hope to go to college and retrain for a different career.
    Well that's all about me really. Thanks for looking.

                    Welcome to the vine Paula - growing stuff is a great thing to do with the kids. Lots of ideas on the Grapevine for you to try out with them.

                      I think the theraputic value of a plot can easily be overlooked and there is certainly nothing selfish about having a bit of a break. We all need a place where we can go and get away from it all every now and then and my alotment is the best place I have found. Hope you and your kids enjoy yours
