am really wanting to learn so much more about growing my own veg (especially given all the food scares!)

Anyone got any good tips? I guess i need to start of easy...

I saw this on the UKTV site which is helpful too http://uktv.co.uk/index.cfm/uktv/Gardens.homepage/sid/6151

Hi ruth & welcome to our forum.

Have a read & you will learn much here. Try the infomation link near top of page. There is also a search facility which is very useful when you get the hang of it. But do ask about anything which you don't understand.

Oh ... nearly forgot ... try the Glossary of Terms in the Welcome forum for help in picking up the lingo.

Hi welcome to the site.Do you have a garden,lottie,containers?For starters,before it gets too warm,get some mixed leaf salad leaves into a pot,the seeds grow quickly and you will have the pleasure of passing the expensive washed in who knows what packets in the super market and picking your own by the back door.There are lots of suggestions for starting out on the site or just join the chat.

Aw thanks for the warm welcome

It seems this place is full of useful info and great gardeners!

As i said above i love that UKTV website as it sums up stuff simply for a beginner like me but are there any other sites you use for reference?
