  • Hello Everyone, mind if I join you?

    Hello Everyone,

    I only started growing my own, in containers, last year. I had never done any sort of gardening before, let alone growing fruit and veg. I had success with spuds, peas, sweet corn, lettuce and carrots; less success with broccoli, strawberries, and beetroot. I did pickle the beetroot but they resembled removed appendices - a bit off putting. I also foolishly tried cape gooseberries. What can I say, I was seduced by advertising.
    This year I have acquired a small vegetable patch where I plan to grow more spuds, peas and maybe have a go at sprouts, though by my calculations I will only have room for one (!?).

    Got lots of questions, so I'll be doing lots of 'pickings-of-brains' from more experienced comrades.

    Thank you for allowing me to join. Looking forward to lots of sound advice.

                          Thank you

                          Thanks Everyone for your warm welcome.

                          Good idea, Jay-ell, I'll do that as soon as I work out how. Not only am I new to GYO, I'm also new to this idea of forums ( I don't twitter or 'face book' either). Bit of a technophobe, really.

                          Thank again Everyone.
