 Hi I am new here too. I am near Salisbury in Wilts. I would love to meet anyone in my area who is into gardening as I am trying to turn part of my 2 acres into a veggie garden.
I have not had the space before but thanks to my dear old grandad do have a bit of plant knowledge.

Welcome slowef - hope you find lots to interest you here. I'm not near you, but am keen on wildlife and vegetable gardening. You'll find lots of others too. Lucky you to have 2 acres - until we get our allotment we're on a bit of a smaller scale. |

Hi Slowef,
A warm welcome to WAB, hope you get as much pleasure from your 2 acres as I did from my plot - I can still remember the first time I picked my own veg and cooked it within hours, nothing has ever tasted better, nor ever will.
Carol.

Hello there Slowef
You've definately come to the right place for advice and tips, the only thing you won't be able to get is a spare dollop of elbow grease (unless anyone else knows different of course!) which would come in very handy for a 2 acre plot!!
Good luck with your veggies! |

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
Yes a daunting prospect but we are doing it in small "bites" the only way prob to manage it. I want to be as organic as possible and not use any poisons or nasty stuff. Companion planting is a thing I wish to try and have started some marigolds to go alongside my veg as I understand they help with some bugs.
I agree picking your own stuff, there is nothing like it. I am a great jam and pickle maker so nothing will go to waste.
