    Hi everyone, this is my first real try at veggie growing in my back yard. Moved into our new house in 2006 and tried a few different plants.

    Quite a few grew really well, ie carrots and cabbage.

    Here are a few pics of my plot.

    Yet another Scot! Hi, Chris, and welcome! Maybe I've bumped into you at Dobbies - you never know!

    That looks very neat, tidy, and ready for action - and shows a lot of hard work went into it. Look forward to seeing you around the forum. :D

    Boa noite, ChrisG. Looks like you've got everything well planned already.

    I'm a flower power girl and not much into veggie growing so I won't be able to advise much but I can offer you a big welcome into GC!

    Enjoy!

    Hi Chris and welcome to GC.

    You are just 'up the road' from me.

    Dobbies ---- a bit pricey I find. I saw their surfinia
    and fuchsia plugs this week at 99p each I just bought mine last week for 79p. Buying 50, as I did, was a saving of �£10.
