I have been trying to figure out the ins and outs of gardening since I was about 10 and my parents moved into a house with an acre of garden that they just couldn't be bothered with.

Since then I've spent many a penny and many an hour trying to see what I can grow. I've had this present garden for about 8 years, when we moved in there wasn't a lot as the previous owners had lots of dogs that tore the place up, and they'd also uprooted most of the plants and taken them with them!

Pretty much all of the plants you see on here are ones I've planted myself. This year I'm trying out lots of fruit and veg, hence the name.. !

I consider growing plants and edibles as a creative act which I document as an artwork to compliment my other art which can be found at www.amandachristinecox.co.uk as soon as I have uploaded my pages. I'm a Jack Of All Trades and website building is just one of the things I try and am pretty inadequate in.
