Hi there chillie girl and welcome. Have fun, hopefully you'll get some good info and advice, moral (!) support and lots of laughs. If not I shall not be held responsible.

Hi Chillie Girl,

Welcome to this very mad house, but seriously anything you want to know and I mean anything someone will have the answer.

Let us know how you get on, Mandy

Hi chilligirl welcome to the madhouse! I reckon you should add a few spuds to your list - some nice salad ones?

Hazel - easy peasy is in the eye of the beholder! Spring onion....never got 'em to grow yet!

[chillie girl]

Wow !

Lots of replies. I feel really welcome and a bit scared at the same time, you are all nuts ( in a nice way). Thankyou

[mandyballantyne]

Don't be scared Chilli Girl, we are not alll mad

On second thoughts.....yes we are but we don't bite

[Lesley Jay]

You are spot on there Chillie Girl!! You don't have to be mad to join this forum - but it sure helps!!!!

My list is subject to review at the end of the season!

I think you'll manage fine with that list Chillie Girl. No courgettes or squash ?
How are you going to grow your corn and what variety. We're running a bit of a trial here on the Vine under the heading 3 Sisters, by growing corn, beans and squash in the same bed. It started out to see how far north corn could be grown, but lots of grapes have joined in, so that's good. Want to join us in it. I'll be growing Swift in my 3 sisters bed, and some mini corn elsewhere - so hopefully I'll have some success.

Alice, my wifey and I are thinking of trying the '3 sisters' thing. Sounds really interesting. I understand it is a Caribbean thing, is that right? Anyone?

[Lesley Jay]

It was Native Americans that first grew the Three Sisters way.
