for those that are interested, some MSE'ers started a group on yahoo to exchange seeds (for nowt! :j ). Surprisingly, it's called Seedexchange Go to yahoo and have a look (can't work out how to do links, sorry!)

I've also just got my first allotment - I've got so many plans, it's all very exciting!!

i love this prog. when i saw her digging up the spuds it made me smile. back in summer of 05 we grew spuds. and digging them up seeing how many where there was so exciting. it was like winning a jack pot. not know how many there would be, but tons upon tons just seemed to keep producing.

the jeruslam articoke chips looked very interesting. going to see if i can find any locally and try that, maybe even plant some.

i have now booked my dad to help me once a week to sort garden out and plan my veggie plot.

not gonna miss the prog again. i have put it in the sky planner on series link and auto view. yah

Got a very small area at the bottom of the garden, where nothing ever grows, approx 2m . 1.5m.

How do i prepare the ground and when?
What do I do about cats messing in the dirt, as we have a lot around us?

Any other tips for a 'first timer' as I am clueless?

Thanks

You answered yourself in the first line.

You could try a few rhubarb crowns there I suppose, and grow veg in containers in the sun.

Please go to my thread on the suggestions board and say yes to a gardening forum.

3kidsnomoney, That may not be a good place for veg, tell me a bit more about the site is it sunny/shady/damp/dry etc do you know what soil type you have?
2mx1.5 is plenty for a good selection if its in the right spot.

I certainly will, Annie. For anyone else who wants to add their support, this is the thread.
