I started my veggie patch last year after living here for two and half years and promising myself to have another go after I had one at my last home which I had to sadly leave behind. I planted a few vegetables last year, most of which grew, perhaps not quite as big as I would have liked , but they tasted really nice. I've been reading lots and buying books in the hope that they will help me make the most out of my little patch. One of my Christmas presents was The Allotment Keepers Handbook by Jane Perrone which has inspired me to start this blog so that I keep track of my progress.
I still have quite a few seeds that I bought last year from the Organic Gardening catalogue as well as some that I picked up from Woolies, Wilkinsons and I think even Tesco's. I have also just taken delivery of my seed potatoes (all of which have wonderful names) and onion sets from the OGC. The onions will be going in soon (February according to JP) then the potatoes a little later.
About an hour ago I also ordered £48 worth of fruit trees, garlic and mushroom spores form Thomas and Morgan. I just hope they don't die on me and I do get something from them.
