New Year, New Content!

Hi everyone and a very happy 2010 to you all. It has been an odd start as I got back into the office on Monday and then have had children (and teacher husband) at home again all week - like the Christmas holidays never finished! Hope all is well with you all in the cold.

As I wrote in a previous piece, last year I spent a large part of the year on a big building project, which consumed a lot of my time. It is now complete (apart from an unfeasibly large heap of decorating) so I can get back on the case with your site.

So I wanted to ask you - what are you looking for on this site? If you could leave comments with your ideas I would be very grateful and it will help me shape the site more effectively. For example:

- what did you come here looking for / hoping to find?

- what could I add more of?

- what would be the most useful?

- have you found anything useful elsewhere that I could chase up and add?

I look for

ward to your ideas and thanks for bearing with me. On an average day I don't know who I am more like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Joe Swift, or indeed Handy Andy! But I will certainly try my best to meet your needs!

Happy 2010!

I would like to see more small gardening projects and ideas that I can try without much experience.
Maybe some pictures or videos of growing basic things?

Hi,
I've been looking for a good supplier of organic seeds, there's lots on the web but wondered if there were any you could recommend/have links too?

Great question. I will look into compiling some lists of good suppliers of various things, including seeds.
In the meantime Victoriana Nursery who wrote the next blog piece do supply all kinds of seeds, and as they do a lot of work with children's gardening, would probably be good at advising which seeds work well when planting with children. You can click through to their site from the blog. Thanks.
