Hi all, another newbie checking in here!
I'm pretty new to gardening, despite having a mum and a grandad who are both keen gardeners. I was just never interested in gardening until recently, when a) a partner got into homebrewing, and b) shortly after the homebrewing started, I bought a house and a garden of my own.
I've had the garden for just over a year now, but I still don't really know what I am doing, but I've definitely thrown myself in there
I am far more interested in plants that produce something I can make something tasty out of, or are helpful in some other way to wildlife or other plants. I've currently got three dwarf apple trees (Katy, Worcester Pearmain, and Rosette, all on M27 rootstocks), a Japanese quince, and a blueberry, as well as some shrubs (including two buddleija, because I love them) in my front garden, and three colours of currant plus a yellow raspberry in the back. (Will be interesting to see what kind of homebrews can be made from those when they start producing!)
This spring I also started messing around with planting seeds. I currently have ~40 small lupins and catmint plants in a plastic greenhouse affair, a bunch of herbs waiting to germinate on my dining table, and a bucket of chillis and a bucket of alpine strawberries that are (fingers crossed) just about to start poking their heads above the soil...
Anyway, that's probably enough of me rambling!
