A New Gardening Era

Well first of all apologies for my absence since I last posted, it was a mixture of Timmy laziness and also the fact that not much has been happening here. This is a quick post to let everyone know about the start of our new veggie patch that our friend Martin has let us use, Martin is the father of our daughters boyfriend. He has given us access to a patch of ground about 50 square metres in size which is much more than my measly attempt of calculating how big it was the last time we looked at it. I spent the evening making the first bed, which just needed digging over and the removal of some stones, it's nice soil too and we put in half a bed of onion sets for the winter. I have a trailer full of manure arriving later this week too. Any tips from fellow gardeners out there would be appreciated immensely as we are just beginners at this. We are finding this really enjoyable and can't wait for next spring when the new season starts but I think the onions will do for now. Ok must go, dinner is awaiting me so I may scrub out the gardening muck from underneath my newly acquired green fingernails - timmy
