    I'm Noemeportugal new to this forum

    This is all new to me so please be patient as I go along
    My husband & I live in Northern Portugal just a few miles from the Spanish border.
    We have lived here for ten years with up to very recently not much success with growing our own vegetables with the aim of being organic and eventually self sufficient. Over the last Christmas/New Year period we decided to take a hard at what we have being doing in the past 9 years and plan for big changes in 2014

    Ours is a very interesting story which can be best illustrated by looking at this link

    I am looking forward to participating actively in this forum as we are constantly looking to find ways to improve our vegetable growing skills

    Welcome to the Vine!

    I haven't time now to look at your links but will do later.
    The proof of the growing is in the eating.
    Leave Rotten Fruit.
    Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
    Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!

                        Hello and welcome.

                        I too live a few miles from the Spanish border, but on the French side I think that might make us almost Vine neighbours

                        Enjoy the forum

                              Thanks for that comment, having them odd shapes makes everything a more interesting especially when people come & visit us walking around. At the present time the plot resembles a maze
