HI DVNewbie, I did a couple of courses with Jane a few years ago and really recommend them. Very reasonable price and great for beginners!

Hi DVNewbie - have you tried sending a query to Jane via her website? If there is enough demand then she might be up for putting on another course. But the main sowing season has gone and we're now into the growing season for this year. Maybe see if Jane's Veg School could put one on for people who just want to do some initial simple growing and get a plot ready for autumn planting (i.e. for plants that will come through in the winter or spring of 2014).


Of course, there are any number of books that could help get you started until the next class runs - in fact, Jane could probably suggest some. She doesn't teach anything magical or mysterious, it's all available in books - though of course you don't get the same practical, hands-on tuition from books.


Good luck

Thanks BigED. Yup, I have been reading books and having a go anyway. I'm just not working at the moment (and only have a few months before I need to again!) so I'm trying to maximise the opportunities to learn about stuff I've always wanted to while I have some spare time! Books etc. it is! (I have emailed Jane though and may well sign up for the Feb course anyway - especially as it's on a Saturday...)

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
