  • Hello from a newby with problems

    Hi,

    I'm Catherine from Colchester in Essex. I've had success growing tomatoes and herbs on my patio and last year I got an allotment. So far that is not a successful story and I'll be posting in other areas with some questions about it. I am sometimes on the verge of giving up.

    Apart from gardening I enjoy cooking, theatre and reading. I'm blind and a wheelchair user.

    I'm hoping to learn from you experienced growers and maybe one day I can help others.

    Hello Catherine and welcome to the Forum.
    Don't give up your allotment until we've had a chance at answering your questions and, hopefully, giving your some solutions to your problems.
    We'll do all we can to help you - except the weeding

                          Hi Catherine - I'm a newbie beginner too! Congrats on your toms and herbs, it's a great start. I have toms and chilli plants at the moment and am hoping to get my veggie patch sorted during autumn ready for next years sowing.
                          It's all a bit of a minefield, but there's tons of advice from all these great knowledgable folks on the grapevine!
                          Just try to enjoy your gardening, doesn't matter if it's not right anyway
                          All the best to you! 😃
