Hello from not so sunny Donny

[Vegandmore]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and this is my first year growing veggies, I managed to convince my OH to give it a go and we bought a 6x6 ft greenhouse, and created 2 planting areas in the garden 1.8m squared. I have had some successes and many failures and feel like I have learnt so much in my 1st year but mostly it has been trial and error as I didn't know what I was doing (and didn't even know this site existed) so hoping with help and advice next year will be better, I've subscribed to the magazine and decided to spend more time planning rather than chucking a few seeds in the ground and hoping for the best.

Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello, any advice for a newbie would be greatly received :-)

Hello and welcome to the Vine. The main thing about gardening is to relax and enjoy it.

There's lots of information in the existing threads on the site, but any special queries then start a new thread.

Welcome to the vine vegandmore. you'll get lots of helpful advice here. One of the best things about trial and error is that every success is a triumph and any failures are a learning experience you never forget

Well everything we planted has worked! Peas, beans, fennel, herbs, beet root, carrots onions, garlic, sweet corn pumpkins strawberries, raspberries gooseberries. In poly tunnel tomatoes cucumbers cucamelons, melons and tomatillos. Some stuff worked more than others. But it's a new garden that's not been cultivated for years and years so expecting next year to be a lot better

Ay up lad.

Welcome t'vine.

(My OH, KittyColdNose, is from the Independent Free State of Yorkshire too, although we are currently manning the Rural Aberdeenshire Embassy)

You will find no end of useful help and advice on here. We have made loads of mistakes in the past two years and I have found that being on here has helped stop us repeating these
