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!

Hops are here again



After dying back and a bit of compost to cover the roots in late Winter, the hops are showing good signs of growth.

I followed advice and cut the shoots leaving 3 main shoots to climb away!

Wot no Spring?

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

Contemplating life and watching seedlings grow...
