900 and growing, that's brilliant. In my opinion this is the friendliest gardening forum on the internet. Long may it continue that way.

Colin as you say brilliant, and it's been a very consistent growth.  I agree with you as thankfully there's been no real problems or trouble.  My thanks to you for being one of the more active members and a regular contributor.

Samantha hello and welcome to UK Veg Gardeners!  Good for you starting a blog. I've blogged for years and my main one Flighty's plot I started when I took my allotment on back in 2007.  I do the same and have to agree with you!  I've bookmarked your blog samsallotment and will stop by later for a read. Thanks, and happy gardening.

900 of us to keep in line? Crikey, Flighty, you've got your work cut out HA HA. I've met some lovely people here on the forum and learnt some stuff too. It's the most interesting place and I really couldn't do without it. Who else would I 'talk veg' too and not get sniffed at??

Debbie yes but considerably fewer active members, and thankfully you've all been extremely well behaved so far! It's always appreciated when I read comments like that. As another of the more active members and regular contributor I'd like to say thanks to you as well!

Too right-even if we don't write in, we are watching and reading.  Just can't wait now to get really started on the allotment.  But watching my sweetpeas in my little plastic shelter (they seem to have survived the seriously low temperatures at the start of the month)  and now my potatoes quietly chitting away on the window sill.  At last I have a house with wide sills-should be a point to note in every estate agents' write-up: 'this house will suit a veg and flower grower with its ample sills in every room'

Sue my parents house had wide sills which my mother, a passionate gardener, filled with pots, trays and vases!

Having looked at a few other gardening sites and forums - in my opinion this is one of the best - and although I don't post as often as I did at the beginning - I still enjoy reading what everyone has to say and picking up tips and info.  Long may it reign.

I really like UKVG...I am a member of a few other garden sites,but a lot of them are mostly flower lovers. Here is an exclusive club for veggie gardeners,which I am passionate about. I garden every day,as I have a tunnel to go into if it rains.Thanks to ALL for your friendship here too.

Catherine that's nice to know. I think that the difference is not such so much that here is nearly all about vegetables but that we mostly stay on plot so to speak whereas other forums often seem to be off plot for much of the time. 

It is friendly here, and thankfully you've all been very well behaved so far.

I love flowers, and even started the  Flower power - UK Veg Gardeners group!
