    Hi guys, I'm Billy from County Durham, England. I only started gardening this year so am very keen to learn. I'm glad I found this forum on Google page 1 and can't wait to read the posts and gain some useful information.

    At the moment I have radishes, onions, potatoes, beetroot and peas growing, my radishes are just starting to come through. all my veg was planted outside in the garden from seeds, not sure if this is the right way to do it though.

    I have also got my hands on a black plastic compost dispenser and have started filling it up.
