    Sowing, Snipping & Sipping… Eventually!

    Hello and welcome to my very first blog post!

    I’m Dave a greenhouse grower, veg enthusiast, and future (hopefully) grape-to-glass winemaker. This space is where I’ll be sharing regular updates on what I’m growing, what I’m learning, and the odd laugh along the way when things don’t quite go to plan.

    Right now, my greenhouse is bursting with tomatoes, chilli pepper flowers, and the early promise of Pinot Noir grapes. I’m also sowing for late autumn and winter, things like Pak Choi, beetroot, radish, dwarf French beans, spring onions, swede and whatever else I can squeeze into trays!

    The goal? To keep growing through the seasons, experiment with new crops, and one day bottle my own homemade wine from grapes I’ve nurtured in my North East of England greenhouse. Whether you’re here for the veg, the vines, or just to follow the journey I’m glad to have you along for the ride.

    If you fancy seeing it all in action (and the odd greenhouse disaster), come find me here:

    Let’s keep sowing, growing, and maybe even sipping together.

    Cheers!

      Sweetcorn is F1 Goldcrest and the peas are mainly Kelvedon Wonder but I did have some others that I used but can’t remember their name. Would like to try some different varieties next year, so any recommendations please share. Thanks for the comment

      The only peas I have any luck with are overwintered Douce Provence. Might not be of interest to you, as the crop isn't huge, but if you've nothing else in the ground at that time of year, they might be worth a try. They're extremely hardy. For sweetcorn, I used to grow Lark. Very quick, so probably suitable for the north of England.
