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,

Self employed gardener here as well sporting some blinding blisters after pruning about 20 huge Hydrangeas earlier! Welcome to SSish and goos luck with the veg, much more interesting than bloody shrubs.
