Greeting from the Isle of Wight

[sean]

Hi all ,
My name`s Sean , and i`m from the sunny Isle of Wight.
Stumbled across this forum whilst trying to find tips on growing veg on google.
Grew a few runner beans in pots last year , which tasted great , along with a few spuds which weren`t to bad.Pure luck i think !!!! lol
I got given a greenhouse which is all set up in my garden , with a few things growing.Onions,Garlic,Peppers,Toms,Courgettes
I really haven`t got a clue what i`m doing , but i`m great at learning by my mistakes.Give it a go and see what happens.
Thanks for reading , and i hope to type to you soon

Hi Sean, welcome to the Vine. We all started off as novices and some (me) stayed that way, luckily there are great Grapes like Nicos and Snadger to help with advice, actually we're up for giving advice so you'll never be short of help

Love the IOW, my parents have been going there every for the last 30 years: Sandown, Ventnor and Shankling mainly. My little famile are visiting at the end of Sept. Its been about 20 years since I last went so I'm really interested to see how much I remember and whats changes (I think black-gang-chine has gone).

Hi Sean,
Welcome to the vine, the best way to learn is through experience!
Alot of my family come from the IOW as its not far away from here.

[Nicos]

Hi there- and welcome to the Vine!

(We all learn from each others mistakes )

One of my first great mistakes was to sow seeds direct into the soil without a clue as to what the seedlings would look like- consequently I managed to weed out all the ones I wanted and left one variety of weed to grow!

Hi and welcome to the vine, you'll get lots and lots of tips and ideas from the "grapes" on here. And lucky you - living on the IOW. I've been going there for walking holidays with friends for the last 10 years or so. We all love the IOW.

Welcome Sean from another newbie I've started a lot of things off in the greenhouse too and garlic for the first time - my hubby rarely goes in there anyway but wandered in and hated the smell! He has built me some great raised beds though so I can grow a wider variety of things this year hopefully with ongoing advice
