Hi folks. Thanks for the nice welcome. A little history. I used to garden (veg) up until 21 years ago (not seriously though) when I used to have an allotment. I kinda lost interest, mostly because of failures probably brought about by lack of water (I had to carry the water by hand). Anyway, I'd always wanted a situation where I could just turn on a tap to do the watering and a garden big enough to grow stuff in. Well, me and the Mrs moved last year to a house with a 200ft garden (only 14ft wide), so last year was mostly about getting it into shape although we DID manage to grow quite a bit of stuff in our 11 raised beds. Now we're looking forward to seeing our garden grow up as most of the basic structure is in place. I'll post some pics sometime for your perusal. Cheers...freddy.

Hi Freddie...At last your own growing space. I hope you have many happy hours out there!!
