Hi from Yorkshire

Post: # 86775Post Gytrash »

Eyup everyone!

I'm Dave, in West Yorkshire. Self-employed gardener by trade, and to my shame I've never got around to growing any fruit and veg for myself! :roll:

Until now!

Not only will I be spending all week in other folk's gardens, I'll now be spending lots of weekends playing on my new allotment! Can't wait.
Me and my girlfriend have almost cleared it... the fun bit should start soon! :lol:

Looking forward to learning more, and reading all about other people's experiences...


Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave

No stranger to hard work then?
