Biggee's Profile

I'm a consultant electronics engineer by profession and a member of the Aberaeron Allotments Association on the west coast of Wales. I am also the Webmaster of our AWARD WINNING website at www.aberaeronallotments.org. And also our gardening social network site (Gardeners CHAT SHED) at www.gardenerschat-shed.net.

I'm married with 4 sons aged from 34 - 14 (tried to get a family 7 aside rugby team together but the oldest 2 got too old to play before I could muster another 3 to complete the team!) I have one grandson (Cai in Llandybie) and two granddaughters (Bethan & Eleanor in Birkenhead) - our pride & joy.

I've been gardening since 1976 and I think I've just about got the hang of it by now!!! However I'd say that no gardener would know it all, even if he had an eternity to learn & practice.

My allotment is my little haven to get away from all the artificial stresses and pressures of the world. In latter years I've embraced the organic methods of fresh veg produce for the family. My favorite gardening experts are Dr D. G. Hessayon, Monty Don (the best gardening presenter to ever grace our TV screens) and Terry Walton (I worked and lived in the Rhondda for 13 years and Terry just epitomizes the warmth, humour & down to earthness of the people in that neck of the woods).

The one gardening place on earth I would like to experience is Cuba and the "organoponicos" revolution that's taken place there. We have a video on our site of Monty Don's visit to Cuba (http://aberaeronallotments.org/videos/FP/AAA_video_MontyInCuba.htm).
