    Heya everyone,

    I'm Sarah from Hull and I am the new (and slightly involuntary) garden guru for the Hull university community garden. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love gardening and our little piece of paradise but I am fairly new to all of this. The winter is going to be filled with many, many hours reading up on things like garden calenders to companion planting and garden art.

    So far our garden has been a huge success with both students and staff getting heavily involved and a very good first harvest. At the beginning of the year the garden was a neglected building site and no we have 8 raised beds, a polytunnel and a pond. It has been great so far but I still needs loads of advice and help to keep this great community project going. Hopefully I can learn from all of you experienced gardeners and maybe even contribute a little bit myself.

    Thanks to all of you for investing your time in helping your fellow gardeners out. :bbq:
