I haven't posted for too long, will try a bit harder this season, I did break the 1000lb barrier with a 1007 last year, took me a few years but I got there in the end. I have been playing with hydroponic onions this winter, I have these 2 going at the moment, I have made some mistakes but they are back on track. I have also got Giant cabbage, leeks and onions growing and I have started Swedes, Beetroot, Parsnips, Carrots and Celery today.
