hi i'm new!!

Post: # 98166Post thomasgreen »

hello to one and all!

my name is Tom :D i have recently convinced my parents to let me take over part of the garden and fill the house with plants! This year is my first go at growing veg and it's great! Growing is most therapeutic! I've been interested in self sufficiency for a while and now my fiance, Rebecca, is getting interested! We're getting married next year-once we find somewhere to live we will be having lotsa fun seeing what we can do! I'm really excited!!

how is everybody?!

Tom :cheers:
