Hello from sunny Scotland

Post: # 20639Post Clarabel »

Hi,

I'm not really sure how to introduce myself, my other half and myself have just got ourselves an allotment, and I'm brand new to gardening as I have lived in flats for the past 8/9 years and with family who had no interest before that.

It's a bit of a scary thought but I love being outdoors so am enjoying having a 'garden' even if it is a good walk away from the flat!

We're hoping to start planting soon (as opposed to clearing weeds and digging holes atm). We're quite lucky because we have some fruit trees and bushes already florishing, although there is plenty of junk to clear too!

Have to sign off now as my time is expiring but hope to be back soon!

Hello clarabel,

Sounds like you might need some advice from time to time, feel free to ask no matter how stupid you think the question is.

G'Day Clarabel, Welcome to the site!

Pre-existing fruit trees and bushes are great to have, hope they continue to produce for you!
