On the advice of billybob, starting a new life getting a fresh hobby  :P The missus and I have recently been setting off some seedlings ,Toms, Cumbers , Peppers, Onions, Sweet Corn..... so on and a few flowers , a mixture of Spanish  and English types . its our fisr year at this  , we intend to use raised beds and auto irrigation, has anyone had great success or dismal failure with their veggie plots , any tips, reccomendations on veg ,flowers to grow, would be nice. Im alright on the fertizlizer front as my Neighbour Marcello will be dropping 64 tonnes of the chicken blend in the next week or so for his orange groves which surrounds us.  :-?
