Hi, This is the first time I've written anything on a forum - help!!
Briefly, we have been living in France for three years deep in the countryside in rural France and are loving it. Especially having the space for a vegetable plot and keeping a few chickens. This year I am trying to grow runner beans here for the first time as we prefer them to French Haricot beans. Also a first this year are Cape Gooseberrys to join the raspberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants which are into their second year. Last year our tomatoes were a complete disaster with some sort of virus which was widespread over this area. Too much rain I think!
This year I'm growing potatoes in dustbins, tomatoes, onions, shallots, butternut squash, courgettes, cucumber, gem squash (Zimbabwian), carrots, beetroot, peppers, chillies, sweetcorn, lettuce, radish, and strawberries.
I love getting Grow Your Own Magazine which my son sends out to me every month.
