Growing- your knowledge

Im having great fun and really enjoying my current course with the HCC. It does take time and there is far more to it than I envisaged. I initially found it slightly difficult to get into doing the research, but as I progressed I learnt to handle research slightly smarter, albeit sometimes I do still find it frustrating, but I am learning so much more than I ever thought I would.
So far, I have done this on my own and I do think it would be much easier if I had a buddy or buddies to confer with, although my tutor is always at hand if I need help.
One of the hardest things is knowing where to go for information, this can sometimes take up alot of time.
As my current course is on Allotments, in Spring I intend to touch base with our local allotment association, which I'm sure will make this course even more enjoyable and perhaps easier. I also hope by then to have my own Allotment prepared for lift off! That's when I can put my learning into practice.
