    Well its absolutely tipping it down this morning.

    I've been leisure gardening for over 30 years now and had a greenhouse for nearly as long, that's followed us on each house move. Now got a second greenhouse and just re-vamped my veg patch.

    One or two of my work colleagues have allotments and more people at work are showing an interest, so we discuss growing stuff and sharing seedlings etc. I've always done things in the same way, but talking to them I might not have been doing it right over all these years, its never too late to learn so hopefully I can pick up some tips from your good-selves as well.

    John

    [​IMG] to the forum John I have to agree with Coub I'm sure you have loads of helpful advice from both your gardening and greenhouse years and I for one will look forward to hearing what you have to say about them both as this year I became the proud owner of my very first greenhouse.Enjoy this wonderful friendly site.Hel.xxx.
