Hello from a complete novice

[sems]

Hi Folks
My name is Shaun and a complete novice when it comes gardening and growing your own.

A family member bought me some chilli and tomato kits last year to help keep me amused while recovering from a serious illness. The kits were not very successful but I caught the growing bug and ended up with a few raised beds and a handful home grown veg.

This year I hope have some more raised beds and possibly add a greenhouse.
Been looking around the forum for a while and thought I would sign up and try take things a bit more seriously and hopefully not ask too many silly questions.
Shaun

Hi Shaun, happy gardening. It's quite more-ish. Once started it's hard to give up.

Welcome to the vine Shaun.

The kits were not very successful

They rarely are: they dry out too much from being in a shop, imo. You get more success from an ordinary pack of seeds, but that doesn't look so pretty to give as a gift

Welcome to the vine sems.
Growing your own is very addictive, I started a patch at our local allotments a few years ago and find myself so bored over most of the winter months when there isn't much to do.
Don't worry about asking questions even if they are silly ones.
