Hi appyjack,

Pink-winged - you got there before me.

That is the very site I use to match mine up - plus various books and old-wives tales etc.

We have moved into a house and the gardens are down by the canal, a bit like allotments but they are ours! The people who grow veg here grow the traditional way - rows and rows with wasted rows in between. Last week, the old guy who has gardened that way for donkey's years, whose wife is from the family that used to own most of the village, [you know - good old village stock] said that he keeps looking at our plot, loves it and tries to identify what we are planting with what and why. Praise indeed for the newbies.
We are having a little wager on who will be next to get raised beds put in and grow companion plants rather than rows and rows...

Fascinating, thanks very much :beer: (though just trying to keep the slugs and the cats off seems to take up most of my gardening time, lol )

thanks for all the advice everyone. i never realised when i started this gardening lark it would be so addictive!! i keep getting very excited about how my peppers and lettuce are doing, just hope everything else does as well.

Another small tip which has worked wonders for us - get some of those silent roar pellets. They keep the cats and squirrels etc away and help fertilise stuff - heavy in nitrogen so best on leafy crops [brassicas etc] - but haven't had any animals using our garden for their convenience since we put some down. Some went on the bark we put down yesterday as well - one of the best finds EVER in my opinion
