Without getting too David Frost about it: Hello, good evening, and welcome to my blog, about the small triangle of earth I have recently commandeered to grow some veggies in. It (the blog) exists for two main reasons: (1) Sally told me to; and (2) So I can record what happens and when and hopefully learn from the inevitable many mistakes!
A bit of introduction... I live in a converted Victorian house on the seafront that's been chopped up into five flats. There's a biggish garden for everyone to use - last year Carol-Upstairs asked if anyone would mind her having a bit to grow some veggies in, which we all thought was a fine idea. Then Sally-From-Work got a proper Allotment so is growing some serious veggies, so I thought I'd have a go. Plus, I come from a very long line of veg-growers (not quite a farmer's daughter, but a farmer's granddaughter and farmer's niece several times over), so if it's a disaster I will bring shame on the family! (Quick plug - go and see Uncle Tim at Sandwich farmers' market, last Saturday of the month; or Uncle Richard at the Goods Shed farmers' market in Canterbury)
SO, having sent the message round to fellow garden-owners (and subsequently bumped into Carol-Upstairs and Sara-Across-The-Landing on the way home tonight), I've got a triangle of bare earth with the back of a garage and side of another on two sides, and path on the other, as well as a smaller triangley-bit on the other side of the path. My friend Heather has given me some veg seeds to get going, my Mum has given me some herbs, and Sally has told me that now I have a veg patch I have to have a blog. So, here goes.
