Found a fab resource for fellow newbies

Not even sure what I was looking for when I stumbled across this little gem:

Ministry of Agriculture Allotment & Garden Guide

"In this new series of monthly "Guides" we are out to help you to get better results from your vegetable plot and your fruit garden. Every month we shall try to do three things : first, we shall remind you of the things that ought to have been done, but may not have been possible because of the weather or for some other reason ; secondly, we shall deal with gardening operations for the month; thirdly, we shall look ahead a month or two and remind you of what you need to do in readiness."

Ok, so it was published in 1945, but the advice is still sound and because of the era, it is money saving by nature

wow, that looks like an interesting read. I like one of the stements in there....

"look after your tools"
The best way to keep them in good condition is to use them often.

My mindset is to not use them at all :S
