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!

Sprouting on up


After a bit of research we bought three varieties of seed potatoes.
Two have the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit while the Rocket are ‘extra earlies’ so hopefully we wont have to wait as long till they are on a plate in a lovely salad!

Rocket (earlies)
British Queen (2nd earlies)
Picasso (main crop) 

They’ll be ready for planting around mid-March till then,
the tubers will sit and chit on our windowsill for a bit.
