    Hello to all
    I am new to this forum but not to gardening. Have been a home gardener for many years and this is my 3rd year on the allotment. I love producing things to eat but don’t necessarily like everything I produce! I live not far from the Mendips so quite a mild climate.
    This year my challenge to self is to grow sweetcorn and chillies. Last year swede but won’t bother again as no discernible difference from s/markets and takes up too much space.
    No greenhouse just a plastic covered shelving unit, raised bed, cold frame and numerous window sills.
    Looking forward to participating and enjoying the benefits of this online community with its great shared knowledge.

    Hello SSvy and welcome!
    Tell me, please, do you grow Sweet Savory as I don't have much luck with it.

      Be careful, chilli growing is addictive .

        Hello and welcome to the vine SSvy
        Ive also given up on swede and celery I didn't get very good results with either of them. It just gives me more space for things I like to grow such as beans, peas courgettes.

                  Welcome along.... good luck - I ws saying to a fellow plot holder earlier that sweetcorn is actually (usually) easier than you might imagine. Chillies are easy/hard depending on variety / climate etc etc - fun to try (and learn)

                    Hi
                    Yes I grow from seed each year. I plant them by the beans as they are supposed to be good together and aid their digestion (!) And the bees love it. Also have the winter variety which is less interesting but useful in season.
