    Hi all,
    Now that I'm semi retired I actually have time to 'play' in my veggie plot (once I've created it of course) so look forward to meeting new people and garnering loads of advice as I go, so 'greetings' to all.

      Thank you Jenny. Looking forward to getting stuck in to something that has always been an enigma to me. Have already posted my first question and looking forward to any help I can get.

        Thank you all for the welcome and of course the YouTube clip - it had to appear sooner or later I guess. My son in law has developed an interest in bees so now I have 10,000 plus in a hive at the top of the garden. What more can I say ...................... being a Python fan !
