  • Greetings earthlings

    ello all
    I bought this magazine a few times n am trying to grow veg for the 2nd yr now.
    First yr i managed to grow salad leaves n a few herbs n some toms.
    This yr i planted later due to breaking my wrist snowboarding so its not been v successful! My toms haven't worked but i have grown, chives, dill, parsley, basil - mint i think is growing but is v slow!
    Beetroot that i harvested and pickled yesterday - and that to my dismay is white mainly. Looks like from the posts this might not be unusual though - i'll find out in a few wks when i try to eat the pickled stuff!
    Have plaited me onions n shallots - but i don't think any school girls would be impressed with my skills!
    i have one surviving courgette plant which has just started to produce - other two were eaten by slugs!
    i have some carrotts in a grow bag and a aubergine plant i've stuck in the grow bag too - not too sure wha to do with this though - mebbe it should be in a green house or smt!
    Oh and i've killed a pear n apple tree but the dwarf plum tree seems to be growing still - although no fruit. mebbe i need to dress as a bee to pollinate it.

    Anyhow..........thats prolly enough about me.

    Oh and I'm 27 and i'm a mental health nurse. i like to grow veg which my friends think is v odd but i find v exciting! i like beer, movies n snuggling my dog.

    oh and all my potatoes died this yr! on reflection it looks like i overwatered...... as you can all see from my plant cemetry i'm hoping to learn some things by being part of the forum. sure i'll be posting lots of questions!
    I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries,
    and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.

    Hi, and welcome to the Madhouse!

    I once bought a Land Rover from a Mental Health Nurse - I think some of it rubbed off! Seriously though, welcome, and happy growing!

                Thought the pic appropriate as apparently my mouth(fingers) have a habit of getting things thrown at me

                      there's also a size limit(kb) on it... make sure it's a .jpg and not .bmp at the end of the file...
