Wow, I didnt realise I'd inspire a group!
Well, to introduce myself a bit, gardening has always been my hobby even as a kid. Im lucky in having a dad who's a professional gardener, and I followed him into horticulture, but the "ornamental" side (flowers & stuff). So I didnt really get into veg til I got my own unrented garden ten years ago. Then I was constrained by space & time, until I purchased a bit extra 3 years ago. As a child I grew tomatoes and cucumbers on my bedroom windowsill (who needs curtains anyway) but with everything else Im on a steep learning curve!
I grow my veggies on the new bit of garden, mostly because it was previously a railway allotment and so is quite nice soil (the rest of my garden is full of sand & stones - concrete anyone?). Im mostly costrained by a severe lack of time as I can only garden when Soph is asleep, and she's not very reliable at that! If Im out there with her, she's at the "cant take my eyes off you" stage - she will either fall over or end up plastered in mud!
Below are a few pictures of my garden, including my main pest - squirrels - nick all sorts of produce!
