Growing Your Own Fruit and Vegetables

We grow our own fruit and vegetables for our meals for as much of the year as we can. Without a greenhouse we have to buy shop food in the winter months but in the spring, summer and autumn we often have enough to share with family and friends.

Hello welcome to my growing blog...

New blog here,  I am putting together information to show how easy growing your own vegetables can be.  It is the preperation of the land that you are going to grow on that will require the most effort or in some cases hardwork (if it has been a neglected plot ) .

 This is spring will be my third 'growing season' on my allotment.

Until I have the chance to develop this blog there are links to read about:
growing your own, allotments, selecting what variety of seed potatoes to buy/grow and compost making.
