Hi from Kent

[AmyG]

Hi there

I'm new to the forums but not new to gardening. I've been growing veg and fruit for nearly 40 years.

I hope I can take and leave stuff here :

Hi Amy, welcome to the Madhouse.

Welcome to the vine Amy - you have come to just the right place to take and leave stuff!

[AmyG]

I'll take some caulis (I grew one good one last year). I'll leave some runner beans (they grow like weeds).

[Florence Fennel]

Hi Amy and a very warm welcome to the Vine. Funny you should say that, last year I grew great cauli's but the beans were scarce, so we could have swapped! Hope you'll enjoy your time on here, it's very friendly.

[AmyG]

It's odd isn't it. Each year we all have our sucesses and failures.

I could have written that! One good cauli and all the beans you could want. I'm trying harder with the cauli this year though.

Welcome - it's good here. Where are you in Kent, if you don't mind me asking?

Hello, and welcome to the Madhouse.

I was wondering what you were going to say!

You've got that phrase on "speed-dial", haven't you?

[AmyG]

I'm sure none of you are any madder than.... each other. I am of course sane :

Even though I'm from Maidstone Mr bad example

I did some work on the Stoneborough Centre, about a billion years ago.

I did some work on the Stoneborough Centre, about a billion years ago.

It's had two different names since then.

"Chequers Centre"

and now "The Mall"

It's very 1970s still.

Hi Amy, welcome to the Vine from me to. I was born in Maidstone (many hours of my youth were whiled away in the Stoneborough Centre) and now live just outside Ashford.
