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!

Wot no Spring?

Not much of Spring to be seen, so sticking to indoors tasks.

Contemplating life and watching seedlings grow...

Out of hibernation

We are coming out the other side of Winter now after a good hibernation.

For reference, last year's tomatoes all caught blight, we planted them out too late I guess?

Planning for the coming year has involved gaining funding for a new shiny greenhouse.
Panes of glass have slid off the old rotting wood and the guttering isn't really working.

The kind people at Dulwich Going Greener and The Dulwich Society are funding a new one!
