Another newbie!
« on: May 16, 2007, 20:45:25 »
I'm anothr newbie. I've just taken over half an allotment, and am ridiculously excited about it. I've rediscovered a bed, which was hiding beneath clumps of couch grass. I've added plenty of nice rotted compost, done oodles of digging and weeding, and two days ago planted my first seeds... All I have to do now is clear another bed, then another, and plant, and water, and...

Looking forward to hearing lots of advice from you experienced folks out there...

Welcome MC.  Sounds like you have made a good start.  Strange just how excited one can get by all this growing n stuff - luckily you are in good company on this site with loads of people who understand all about it - & who know loads about how to do it too.  Wish I did.  :)

Welcome from me too. Sadly I too suffer from the Justgottagrosumore disease,but we have a good support group here,you can't cure it but there is lots of sufferers who can help you live with it!!! Be aware the complaint often leads to Justgottahaveafewmorseeds,one symptom is when you start talking a lot about cow poo but most of us do eventually come down with that  too. Good Luck XX Jeannine

The back is fine, but the back of my thighs were a bit sore for a few days!

And photos... Why didn't I think of that?? I should have taken some before I started... Oh well, better now than later, I guess!

Welcome - just a word of warning - this site is nearly as addictive as growing your own fruit and veg - so watch out!
