A friend of the family wants to adopt my mums garden for veg growing. Anyone have any experience in this? Or advice?

Yes it is a great idea if your yard is large and has much underutilized space. It can become a very productive area with all kind of fresh home grown vegetables. You could ask to share the produce with your friend in which case it will be a win win situation for both of you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
