    Hi all!

    My name is Kirk and I'm a bit of a returning gardener/novice. But didn't have any real land until very recently (see post in questions)

    Where to start?!

    We are based in the far South West of Cornwall, near Penzance and have just acquired just over half an acre of land right next door to our house! I am a music teacher by trade and have been a touring musician for 10+ years. I have also lived in the states for 5 years and that was where I had my first garden.

    We are so excited to get started on this monumental project and cant wait to grow our own produce! :)

    Nice to meet you all :D

                      Thank you all for your replies! I feel very welcome indeed :)

                      We are so excited (my girlfriend and I).

                      We have been filming the odd bits here and there and may upload it at some point.
