New patch, new country Well it's been a few crazy years for myself. Health problems and family. But now I'm back in the UK I've decide to grow again. Tenerife was harsh growing conditions with a lack of water and daily temps of 30-40 degrees C. So all new conditions to cope with here. Tenerife gave me a PB of 89kg so fingers crossed here a can beat that. A very big thank you to Jorge Wagler who advised, mentored and put up with my constant questions. Let's hope I can take on all his advice and do him proud this year. As you can see my first seed was planted 7 days ago and seems to have a real lust for life and light. Its growing will having only broke soil 4 days ago. Fingers crossed it will enjoy it's new patch and continue to grow well
