Hi from West Sussex

[shoreham_steve]

Just saying 'hi' for the first time.
Apart from a few toms, I'd never grown veg until last year when I built some raised beds at the top of my sloping garden. With the aid of the cheapest greenhouse I could find, I managed to grow the usual, tats, courgettes, peas, runners, carrots etc. A few mistakes along the way but I'm hoping to learn from those this year and exchange tips with the fine growers on this forum.
Cheers,

Steve

Hi Shoreham Steve, Love your house-boats! Is that mad one still there, with the washing machines welded onto it? Superb.

Thanks

Thanks for the 'welcomes' and sorry I've taken so long to get logged on again.
Perhaps I've spent too long in the greenhouse !

Hi steve,

So what are you sowing this year?

I started some cherry toms, gardeners delight, on the windowsill in November and they're cropping nicely in the greenhouse now.
Sowed carrots, parsnips, spring onions, tats, sweetcorn, spinnach and other assorted leaves (also over wintered some in the greenhouse), brocolli, strawberries, toms, leeks, chillies, peas, broad and runner beans, courgettes, cucumbers and trying aubergines for the first time.
Right now, am mainly harvesting bind weed and slugs !
Any recipe suggestions? I could feed the world with a good bindweed/slug combo !

Hi, I could certainly provide the nettle tea with thistles for dessert !
