Only joined yesterday (my first ever group) so am a bit bewildered navigating the site what with threads, new threads, posts, forums, views etc - so hope I am in the correct place!
Came here to live from the Pyrenee last August and have a large garden all grass with a clay soil - so I have only so far created 4 small veggie plots in a cruciform design as a start; one for leaves, one for roots, one for seeds and one spare for a nursery or an overflow or to leave fallow so that I can rotate the crops. As this is my first year the four plots are not very exciting - the leaves one has lettuce and spinach - the roots potatoes and carrots - the seeds beans and tomatoes (is that correct?) and the spare has marrows and courgettes.
Is there anyone out there also on the Island? The climate does not seem to be the same as on the mainland - is that right?
This is just to introduce myself - I am 80 years old, and am interested in geology, watercolour painting, reading and of course growing vegetables. So Hi to everyone!
