Hi

I'm a new member, Pat from Norwich, Norfolk, UK. I don't know if I'm doing this right but I couldn't find out how to post so I'm introducing myself by replying to a post, is that ok. My daughter and I have an allotment which we're trying to sort out. Have got potatoes, onions, courgettes, peas, sweetcorn, cabbages, cauliflowers, kale, calabrese, and strawberries in it and a not very good rhubarb. I am also growing stuff in my garden. Have a herb garden in an old tin bath, plus some containers of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and need to plant up some more but need to buy compost which will have to wait until payday. I work full-time so cannot do as much as I would like to. Have made some jam this week. Although I had to buy the fruit to do it, I like making this jam because you can't actually buy it - Strawberry and Peach - yummy.

hope that's ok for an intro.

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi Pat and welcome. Would you please post your recipe for strawberry and peach jam. My sister would love it.
