  • Pleased to meet you

    Hi all,

    Newbie alert, prepare yourselves for some silly questions 😃

    Only thing I've ever grown before is cress in primary school and a beard!

    I'm 29, from the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales. I always buy lots of fruit and veg to stay healthy so have decided it'd time I grew some of my own, starting smal and growing larger... That's the plan anyway!

    See you around 😃

    A very warm welcome to the forum.
    Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.

              Hi again Rodduz
              We like silly questions as they often lead to silly answers

                      How do butt.

                      You'll find out everything about things you didn't know you needed to know here. Then before long you'll be telling others about things they didn't know they needed to know, until finally you are telling those that don't want to know everything they need to know about things they now know they didn't want to know.

                      Croeso.

                        Thank you all for the very warm welcome, shame the weather wasn't as warm!

                        I'm from ******* in the Rhondda darcyvaqua.

                        BillHH, not a great deal. Patio garden with some soil round the edges. That's why I'm starting with a couple of 35l grow bags and then making room as necessary as currently have a fair few plants growing, but nor ones I can eat

                          You can use the borders as a cottage garden and interplant veg with your shrubs, or train an apple up the wall/fence, or some runner beans sweetcorn. A border can be very productive if you want it to be, even adding some herbs is a bonus, rosemary thyme and sage make very good shrubs.
