Hi Growers!

[growerkari]

I have been lurking for a while, so figure I should introduce myself before I get stuck in.

My name is Kari, I started growing late into last years season, I had a few small successes, but things didnt exactly go to plan.

I guess thats how you learn though, from making lots of mistakes

I am in the process of changing half of the garden into a few raised beds so& my growing space is pretty limited, but I have a large conservatory which I am taking over for my toms, peppers, cucs etc.

I love the Grow Your Own magazine & the forum looks like a lot of fun & tips for a newbie like me.

I look forward to chatting with you all soon

Hello and welcome to the vine Kira.

I'm another one who grows in the back garden, this year I plan on taking over a bit more lawn not making raised beds though just beds.

Welcome, Kari.. i grew in the back garden for years before my mate and me took our lottie. My problems was thin clay soil that was ether rock hard and cracking or like a pond, but i did manage lots of runner beans and some cabbages, etc.
I start off most of our veg plants in my greenhouses and take em to the lottie when conditions are right.
Good luck with your growing.
