Hello to all, and greetings to you from Guiseley, West Yorkshire.
I'm just starting gardening again after 'dipping a toe in the water' last year, and have quite a few ambitious plans ('ambitious', that is, for me!) which I'm very keen to bring to fruition...
Last year's gardening was mainly a few tomatoes, a bag of potatoes, a few ill fated squashes (I really got them wrong) a few strawb plants and a lots of pretty flowers which were Ok, but which we couldn't eat (apart, that is, from dwarf sunflowers).
This Forum is really excellent, and a is a very friendly place. I'll certainly be around here very regularly from now on, and hope to make a few new friends into the bargain. This year I'll be growing lots of fruit and veg, mainly but not exclusively from the James Wong 'Homegrown Revolution' book, and am really quite excited - if a little nervous - as to how to sort everything out for the greatest success. I'd be really happy to compare notes with any other Forum members as we move on through the year.
One final thing, then; I've just noticed an ad that said 'Grow Your Own Magazine'. Now, I've always thought you had to buy your magazines from newsagents or supemarkets, so the idea that we can 'grow our own' is a truly astonishing revelation when I've gone through life assuming that magazines had to be produced on huge rollers at the printers...Just shows I've been away from gardening too long!
