    Hi, I've just joined the site and will post a 'hello to all' later. But as I work with young children, I just had to recommend a nice story book to encourage your 4 year old son to eat vegetables. It's called 'Oliver's Vegetables' and is about a child exploring (and then eating) the vegetables in his grandfather's garden.

    Bien venu and welcome Koyukano.  I also, am a new member.  I had immediate response to my problem.  So kind.  Gardeners are usually a merry and generous bunch.  Welcome.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Hi Peter, I only joined yesterday and already you have helped me so thats good going. You have a lovely big garden there and i have greenhouse envy as our garden isnt big enough for a full one but i do have a PVC covered tiny one arriving soon.  I look forward to seeing how your garden progresses.
    Enthusiastic but impatient describes my level of gardening thus far

    Hello and welcome.......be sure to cover the children's sandpit, neighborhood cats will use it as a toilet!
    Thanks Mary, I have a tarpaulin over it held down with sleepers. I was going to get hinge an marine grade wooden board covered with a tarpaulin as a lid but the lockdown has prevented me from going to bandq to do this :-)

    Thanks spudface, make sure to post some updates on your progress too and I will try keep up to date! I think any sized greenhouse or polytunnel is useful if only to get your seedlings going so hopefully your pvc one will be a nice addition to your garden :smile:

    Hi Peter, like you I have recently joined the forum and also set up raised vegetable boxes during lockdown, I had started before lockdown with little expectation this year however intending to start this year with 2- 3 boxes now have 8. The group have already given me some great advice.
