Title: Hi from Wicklow
Post by: Hoopman on May 10, 2015, 21:20
Been reading and finding great advice/tips from this forum since I came across it earlier in the year, so thought I take the plunge and register.
Lucky enough to have my back garden of ¼ acre as my allotment and eventually after 14 years of concentrating on doing up house and equally large front garden, I got to work on the back and 2 summers ago put up two 50ft by 18ft polytunnels and this year created a 30ft by 30ft raised outdoor plot.
I think I spent more time in the tunnels last year than I did in work and was got totally hooked on growing veg and fruit and some plant cuttings.
Last summer was the first time I ever grew anything although my father was a gardener so maybe its in the genes and I was delighted with my success's and hopefully learned a bit from my mistakes.
Really looking forward to see how this year turns out especially with my outdoor planting as everything was grown indoor last year
