    Hi
    Im John. Me and my wife have just moved into our new house. It is the first time we have owned a house with a garden and we are loving it.
    We are(trying) to grow eveything!
    Last weekend was a real land mark as we harvested our first crop of potatoes. We managed to grow nearly 10lbs in what i would call a 'large bucket'.
    We were so proud we videod the event, see below link:-

      Hello and welcome. And well done on the spuds. 10lb in a bucket isn't a bad yield.

        Hallo you 2,
        loved the video. Youv'e scored meag brownie points already. Not many of us can do videos.
        Not a criticism, only a comment:
        • shouldn't you be getting down and dirty whilst your bloomin' missus does the filming?
        • she should wear gloves if she does grubby work - won't do the rings any good
        • gloves off to serve tea or Pimms on the patio of course
        • what's growing in the growbags behind you?
        Lovely to have you in the Gardeners Corner. We all love piccies,
        Jenny namaste
