A social network for vegetable gardeners in the United Kingdom
Welcome
Hi, My name is Gillian Carson and I created UK Veg Gardeners to help vegetable gardeners meet each other, share ideas, and gain inspiration. Most days you can find me blogging over at my site, My Tiny Plot. I hope you enjoy being part of the group. Email me.
And a big thanks to Flighty who is UKVG's administrator.
