Hello! Must be 'that time of year' - lots of newbies around just now. Welcome to one and all.

[Nicos]

Hello and welcome Ann- looking forward to hearing how you are getting on!
What plans do you have?

[Flummery]

Welcome to the grapevine. I guess you like parrots? We have a budgie but have had cockatiels too in the past. I'd love and African Grey but I now think it would outlive me!

Good luck with your allotment and I look forward to more chat with you.

Hi.

Howdy Aficangrey, put where in the country you are from in your profile, then we can ask how much rain you have had. Look forward to hearing about your plot.

[annafricangrey]

thanks for the warm welcome

i have changed my profile, i am in wilts so LOTS of rain here.

i have probably done a silly thing cos i got so excited and bought loads of seeds!!

i have grown veggies in the garden, i used a small cheapo cloche tunnel, which was quite successful and kept the chickens off a bit!!

flummery, we have a grey but he HATES me, loves my husband!! typical eh?

Hiya Ann, I think there's a few of us from Wiltshire.

Everyone gets over-excited and buys lots of seeds! If you've too many you can always swop them for others!!!

[Hans Mum]

welcome aboard you'll get loads of good advice on here you only have to ask

[carlseawolf]

welcome anna , it's nice to have new people starting this time of year as we have nothing to do with all the rain so sit here waiting for some new gossip.

[annafricangrey]

thanks all, its a nice busy forum am being a bit braver and trying a few posts now

i cant wait to get started and am keeping an eye on the getting started threads.

'my' plot is nearly underwater at the moment, well a bit of it is and i can see the last veggie crops, leeks mostly, waiting to come out

is there a thread aboutt what seeds you can get going now? i have a utility room and a kitchen windowsill just beckoning me to put seed trays on

A few peeps have started with their seeds, but it's a bit dark and cool for most plants.
You could try germinating chilli and peppers though as they need a long growing season.
Easiest way is in a dish on damp kitchen roll with cling film to help prevent it drying out. Keep nice and warm....

Hi Ann - welcome to the vine. If you keep an eye on this thread you can see what everyone is up to.

Hi and welcome Ann. I've just got my new lottie too so am on the same learning curve as you - there's lots of help and support around here though. Good luck with it, and enjoy!
