Hi I am Doug,

I have been really looking forward to the time when i could really indulge my passion for growing things. I have been growing things for years but i have never really had the space to grow what i wanted. Aged 31, I have finally managed to move back into a House with a garden! I have been here only 2 months and already, i cannot imagine how i survived without one. It feels good to be able to finally grow my own produce.

This blog is here to provide a diary of the progress (and failures) throughout the year.  I don’t want to take things to seriously, just want to grow good Fruit and Veg.  For 2010 i have gone mad with the seeds. This year i seem to have a facination with Squash’s – I have five varieties to grow.  For some reason i also want to grow some really big onions! I have some Ailsa Craig and some Kelsae that were planted in Feb coming on nicely.  Any tips comment below. – Thanks.

I have been joined by Paul Millar who is also going to log his Gardens progress on the site. – If you would like to use wellrooted too – get in touch!

My seeds have been bought and my groundwork has started!

To follow is a picture of the Garden as it was when we bought the house.

Thanks, and please comment if you can help out.

Oh – wellrooted.co.uk… This was an old domain i bought 5 years ago to document my chilli growing progress. Unfortunately this was put a stop too due to moving into a house with no south facing windows. It seemed very appropriate for this site!

Doug
