    Hi everyone,
    I found the forum while looking for info about potatoes!! Looks like there are an enormous amount of helpful forummers here, so I look forward to joining in and finding out more about gardening. Im a fairly new gardener, having only made haphazard attempts in the past, but trying more in the last few years.
    Im a full time nurse and mum to 3 teenagers, and currently have lots of containers im growing strawberries, carrots and potatoes in. the carrots and spuds are new to me so are a bit trial and error ... for the last few years ive grown peas and tomatoes and bits of salad like lettuce and spring onions. 2015 I intend to make a serious push to grow a lot more veg.
    I look forward to getting to know you :)

      Hi Sue

      I'm also new to the forum, like your self, only really done container and some hap hazard gardening oh, the German Shepherd on the left of my avatar has a lot to blame for the lack of plants in my garden! But she's grown up now and lost interest in gardening thankfully.

      Unfortunately my garden isn't big enough to have a veg plot, so only grew toms and a small salad crop on the patio, but am hoping to get an allotment if I can pin down the tenents association secretary to get an application..

      Welcome to the forum
