Weeds are starting to grow this means 0ne thing its time to start planting.........

Here are some recent pics from my lottie at cemetary approach in the vale of glamorgan,s wales

I have recently built a bigger greenhouse it is two greenhouses in one,i hope to be growing chillis and tomatoes in it this year whilst still working on its construction.

I have had the plot since nov o6, last season was a good year for brassicas but not very good for ligumes(beans)also potatoes did well plus my tomatoes grew well in the greenhouse.
