I have half an allotment, a whole one was too big. I grew loads of veg last year, I stuck everything in to see what would work, we are still eating runner beans and cougette out of the freezer.

I have ordered all my seed for next year, I am planting Mangetout for the first time.

Everyone must grow new potatoes, they taste fabulous fresh from the garden. I will tell you when to buy seed potatoes from the garden centre and we all start chitting.

I always add a few flowers as well, I have planted tulip bulbs already, I grow sunflowers, foxgloves, cornflowers and dahlias for the house.

Glad to have found some gardening buddies.
