Hello!

[Drea]

Hey all,

I just joined and wanted to say a quick hello

This is my first year growing anything, it all started from buying some chilli plants in Aldi now I have my chillies, tomatoes, round carrots, garlic, potatoes, runner beans, lettuce, peppers and some new little courgette seedlings. I can't grow in the ground at the moment because I'm renting the house so am using pots/grow bags and a mini greenhouse, I'm hoping to get myself an allotment fairly soon.

Things are going well but I have no end of questions and I think my friends over at MSE are getting a bit fed up of them

Today I ate my first strawberry! It's the first thing that's been ready

Hey Drea.

Recognize you from the 'other place'.

Welcome to the Vine.

[Jeanied]

There is another place

Surely not!

Welcome to the one and only vine, Drea! That first strawberry is always special

[zazen999]

It's not a gardening place J - rest easy.

It's a tightwad place. So I feel at home there.

hiya drea
first letters 'an'?

[Drea]

There is... but we shan't talk about that! Although I hope people here are at least slightly tightwad-ish...

Said special strawberry is my avatar, pretty isn't it?

[Drea]

You guessed it

[Jeanied]

Tightwad is good. Frugal is even better! Dark green is the best of all.
