Hi Everyone
I always get stuck what to say when introducing myself but here goes.
I like in Bradford West Yorkshire England I have had my own allotment for just over 4 years and I have been the Chair person of the allotment association for 1 year. Unfortunatly our plots have had a big speight of vandalism over the last year and I was starting to think about giving up but Patti's Videos and this site reminded me just how much I need to keep it and not to let the vandals win. My Grandfather was a very keen gardener who grew all his own food and my mother was always a very keen gardener too untill she bacame too ill to continue gardening so I guess the green is in the blood and I'm continuing a family tradition.
This year I have started to convert a lot of my plot to raised beds (again thanks to Patti's Videos) I have always grown in rows before and I am looking forward to seeing how raised bed growing works out for me.
I would love to own some hens however the deeds to my house say I am not allowed to keep livestock (I'm hoping to get around that by saying they are pets) and I would also love to keep bees but that is further down in the pipe line.
anyhows thats me! so I look forward to meeting you all around the forums and sharing my experiences and learning from your experiences too
Take care all
