My first post so hello
When I was little we lived in the middle of nowhere, just a row of eight houses and large gardens. |Although my parent grew nothing bith me neighbours had large veggie plots and I used to help wally next door in his garden, at 7 I managed to scrounge a small patch of our garden off me mum and grew my first potatoes, whic I was not allowed to eat just in case the cats had pooed :shock: yes my mum was fuddy duddy and had a phobia of germs.
I loved eating next doors fresh produce and often had tea at wallies as my mum would not avail to me eating home grown produce although we were allowed to eat the plums off the several trees that were in the garden. At 12 We moved to the town And didn't have room for any veg , but I would go and collect the wilds foods and still do now, nothing better than mushrooms plucked straight from the ground.
Now at the tender age of 24 I have my own house with a tidler of a veg patch and have just been handed the paperwork for my first allotment
, so from tomorrow will be donning my spade and off to the lottie for some weed clearing, I haven't been this chuffed in years.
I just wish mum and dad had seen the light when I was a child
