    Hello,

    My names Stacey and i'm 24 and live in Doncaster.
    I don't have a garden at the moment as it is currently being redone as it was fully paved but I want a garden. I'm having a greenhouse and a vegetable patch in my garden as i love gardening and growing my own produce.
    I hope to find lots of useful information on here and meet some new people.

    Thank you for having me :)

    Hi Stacey, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. What size garden will you have? What veggies do you want to grow? And will you have photos of the 'turning paved into garden' process to share with us? We love to watch projects from beginning to completion. ;)

    Hi Toni, iv put some pictures up of what we have started to do on my garden page. Its not a massive garden but big enough for us. Im thinking of trying to grow as many vegetables as i can. I have previously grown beetroot and marrow but want to widen my options so whatever I can grow. I made chutneys and jams with a lot of my produce last year. As im still learning i would like to try as much as possible first :)

    Lots of our members preserve their produce in one way or another so any questions will quickly find answers.

    Feel free to insert some of the photos into your posts too. The photos will be a little larger and easier for us with older eyes to see ;)

    Stacey, welcome to the Stew from central Texas. Anyone who will pull up paving and put in a garden is the type of person we LOVE here!
