Hi - I'm a Newbie

Hi there,

I've got myself a lil veg patch and i've found this site very useful, so thought i'de join and introduce myself!

I'm currently growing 2 types of potatoes, which seem to be doing pretty well. My carrots have just started sprouting... I think? They could be weeds! Not too sure. 2 cucumber plants have just come through and 6 of my early sweetcorns have just started rooting, i planted 6 other sweetcorn but they are not doing anything yet! Neither are any of my onions or peppers!!! Oh and i've also planted some parsnips, but again they could be weeds!?

Anyway, thats me and my veggie patch!

Hiya, I joined yesterday. Sounds as if you're way ahead of me with growing things, I literally just started this Sunday! I'm sure we'll both gain a lot of useful tips & knowledge on here x

Hi DD - sounds like a good start. I love new potatoes - there's nothing like them in the shops. The sweetcorn will be off in a rush in a few weeks. A bit of warm weather and it shoots up your trouser leg if you're not quick. Best of luck.

Hehe... Thanks Flummery, I grew some sweetcorn last year, they were a bit 'pot bound' so only got 1 to 1&1/2 cobs off each but they tasted oh sooo lush... This year ive turned into a right garden freak, trying to grow anything and everything (not really that green fingered tho) So I hope with the help of this site and all you nice peeps i can get some scrumptious veggies growing! Yum!
