This year I cleared a little patch and started to enjoy myself. I have already found a lot of help from the posts on this site. Last night we ate our first Little Gem lettuce. I am thoroughly chuffed with myself and so glad I found this place.
Welcome! GYO is addictive, great fun and you can eat the produce (usually)
