    Hi All,

    Not only a newbie here but also new to gardening. I live in the countryside and have just had the garden prepared and seeded. This was done by a local farmer who spends his spring/summer time gardening and has some 30 years of experience and to be fair, as someone with no idea he seems to have done a first rate job.

    Anyway, I look forward to picking your brains and getting a semi-reasonable garden.

    Regards

    Don
