About
My Tiny Plot is the diary of a small vegetable patch in Bath, England. I’m all about growing vegetables and eating fresh produce. And more recently turning that produce into yummy and exciting baby meals!
I have a few rules about growing vegetables. Here’s my top ten gardening commandments …
1. Plots should look pretty as well as feed your tum
2. Always accept advice gracefully - even if you think they’re wrong
3. Recycle - it’s just polite
4. Do organic until it becomes a pain
5. Accept that celery is the devil’s food
6. Put a bench in your garden - but know that, alas, you’ll probably be too busy to sit on it
7. Snails, slugs, grubs and caterpillars are your friends until they become your enemies
8. When they do mourn their death
9. Your car is not a mobile shed - get a tool box
10. Grow some flowers - or the bees won’t come!

A Little Bit About Me
I’m 37, mother of one (soon to be two) and I live in Bath, UK. I spent over 10 years in the magazine publishing industry. I started as a reporter and ended as a senior editor at one of the larger magazine publishers in the UK. I worked mostly on technology titles ranging from trade and business to graphic design, web design and digital photography titles. I left publishing to start a business with my husband, we’re called Carsonified and we do a mix of different things within the Web industry. Our latest endeavour is an online training service called Think Vitamin where anyone can learn web design, HTML and CSS in an Open University stylee.
Apart from writing My Tiny Plot I also created a social site for vegetable gardeners in the UK called UK Veg Gardeners.
Anyway, that’s me!
