Amazing compost heaps, pallets are so handy

@ Bonniethomas, no unfortunately its not, my father's allotment.

OK thanks for the suggestions. Will have a try with the berries, especially the gooseberries which are really underrated I think!

Hi all

Just planning my garden patch as we get ready for spring. Part of the patch is very shaded and I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations about growing veg in the shade: are there any that particularly thrive there or don't mind being there?

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I'm new on selfsufficientish, just looking to hear about what everyone else is up to and hopefully get some good tips. I am currently in Newcastle Upon Tyne with a small garden patch but looking to expand to an allotment some time soon.

Thanks
