With no hope of an allotment plot, discovering the Secret Greenhouse began my journey to grow my own veg in London Town.
3 raised beds, some tyres, plastic containers, a (secret) greenhouse and a shed, with the freedom to make what we want from this opportunity.

Found through the Land Share website, this community spot presented itself as a great chance for me and my girlfriend Sally to have a go at growing our own veg.

This blog will follow me, a gardening novice, through the seasons and beyond!

New Year lull

There has been little to do other than drop scraps off for composting and make plans for the coming month, hence the lull in communication.

Soon we will be sourcing seeds, fertilizer and fresh wood chippings.

We have no hedgehog tenants but as the plot is fenced off and slightly raised, it's tricky for them to even view the place, let alone move in!

Once things need more tending to (and we get more out of our depth), we will be promoting the plot a bit more and hopefully gaining some help.
