Hello & Welcome to my Veggie Plot






I only started growning veg last year and had some good results which spurred me on to have a go this year, The only problem i have is that i live in a chalky area so this year i am growing my veg in car tyres, trugs, bins basically anything thar i can turn in into a pot even our old frezzer didn't escape this it's my potato bed this year.

Cheers
Jay
