Hi There, I was in Erdington til i moved last year - now over walmley way, but in Erdington regularly. I'm getting my veg patch up and running - well it is more a 'food' patch as the only veg i've got are peas and parsnips. The rest are herbs, odd salad leaves and fruit. I'm quite excited about this year - first time in growing lots of stuff - I grow it - my 11 yr old son cooks it - we both eat it - thats the plan...... if the slugs, playstation, emails and puppy dog don't get in the way ! So have fun all, Speak soon LOH
