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!

1st Open Day


We got a few jobs done while hosting our first open day, we had the help of a handful of friends who came along, we planted basil & coriander, dug in the green manure and preped the beds for Spring and finally patched up & cleaned the greenhouse!





Success of the day was the lovely beetroot & seed cake,  failure of the day was starting at 10am (on a Sunday!)

Thanks for all that donated, we only made a few pounds after factoring the ingredients for two cakes, but it was all worth it!
