Default Hi everyone :)

I live in the south of England and late last summer we dug out a small veg plot in the garden.

I then took full advantage of the local garden center selling off all its seeds at 50p a pack when they changed their range and i really dont know how i am going to fit all this veg in this year

I have been reading the forum all winter an have finally braved it at last to register. I look forward joining in with you an picking your brains as i try an cram as much as i can into my veg patch an pots.

Wren

Hello Wren. We used to call my daughter that (Jenny!). Seeds are totally addictive aren't they? Glad you took the step of joining us.

Hi there wren- and welcome to the Vine!
If you could pop your rough location on your profile we'll have a better idea of adapting answers/questions in months to come
Glad you were 'brave' enough to register- we're not so rough with peeps are we?

Looking forward to hearing your plans......

Thank you all for the welcome

It's nice to join in at last. I am not much of a joiner as a norm, a bit of a hermit but have enjoyed the forum over the winter and my garlic is looking good for all your advice .

I finally worked out how to update my profile and have added my location . I am in East Sussex.

Hiya 'Birdie Wife' , thank you for the link! my Wrens are one of my favorite visitors to my garden along with my Robin . I wasn't overly impressed to catch one trying to pull my potted carrot seedlings out this morn though. I thought id take advantage of this warm weather an a week off work to bring them on a bit. I shooed it off only for it to sit in the hedge an shout at me. Flipping cheek !

Hi Wren, welcome to the 'Vine I was a 'lurker' on this forum for a long time before I braved a post, now I can't stay away!
Sounds like you're already part of the Seed Addict CLub We're all trying to grow far too many varieties of far more veg than we can possibly fit in our plot!!
