'ello 'ello! from writtle

Post: # 206532Post ellie-in-wellies »

Hi everyone! I'm the new newbie. I'm from Cambridge, currently living in Essex studying Horticulture at Writtle college. I'm fairly new to all this self sufficient business and loving the adventure.
I work as a Gardener here in Chelmsford during time off from Uni, I'll be starting the final year of my degree in september. I have loved being outside since forever, and plants are the love of my life. I have just started growing my own Veg in the garden, in fact you've caught me in the middle of working out how much piping I need to build our netted tunnel for the brocoli (Maths is not my strong point! eeeeek!)

Still, I digress! look forward to many cyber natters

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!

Thanks to you all for making me feel so welcome, I think i'm going to be right at home here!
lovely blog sunflowergal! I'm thinking of setting one up myself, as I love taking photos in the garden.

Garlic cloves have gone in today, along with a variety of Herbs for indoors over winter. Although I have left coriander to put in with curry plant? Oooh and I have been cutting all our soda bottles in half to cloche the spinach, our plot looks a bit like blue peter dream. hehehehe
