ok really scared now

I have had my allotment for 1 year now, so still a newbie really.

Try things as not ev1 can grow evthing. I had trouble with sprouts, so I will leave it this year and try again next year.

Make good use of your local library and find a book you are happy with and understand. This will save you money.

Most people on the allotments will germinate far too much seed and will probably be trying to give you stuff so it does not go to waste.

My neighbour and I have bought our seed between us, so we don't spend as much and we don't waste too much.

Most of all enjoy - gardening is meant to be fun not a chore!
