Nice to hear you on Radio 4 this lunchtime Steve - good to get in a mention of the forum.
Well Done

Maybe we will be inundated with new members - That would be nice! Lots of changes in how to prep & what to sow now days. And after all I haven't a profile pic of myself on here, so can't understand what is stopping them! :) :)

Some of us (me) are long time lurkers, living in constant hope of a kitchen garden! More of a ghost kitchen gardener than a real life one, sadly.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm getting closer to being a real gardener and my new kitchen garden is tantalisingly close. We're moving at the end of this year (hopefully, oh, so hopefully!) and I'll have all the space I could want to make my new plot. I'm trying to see if I can advance things to earlier this year so that I can get some greenhouse crops and over-wintering ones. The new place is on heavy, sticky clay, the sort you can make pots out of, so I'm going to have a go at the no-dig method as proscribed by Charles Dowding, but I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to enthusiasm winning out over realism. Still, I can dream. And order far too many packets of seeds than is good for me.

Good Luck! Just take it easy when you start or you could miss a few weeks with a bad back! Practicality over enthusisium!
