re introduction!

Hey!
i'm new but not new... i joined up a while ago when starting out in pots on massive balcony, bbut between trying to learn stuff and business being super busy i just kinda lost time to keep posting (my phone didnt like this forum).

I had a mixed first year, def havn't learnt enough to grow things properly. failed at lots, over did it on a few things, and grew the cutest most ridiculously tiny micro version of veg ever.
Brocoli i planted out in MAY is still going and only JUST now starting to form a head... i'll post some amusing micro stuff in posts as i get back into using the forum.... but... i'm BACK

annnnnnndddddd......... we are buying a house and it has a massive garden so im going to try start as much as i can off indoors so that when we complete i can just move them and then put them in the ground, in real ground, in an actual garden and hopefully not fail quite as miserably as the last year lol.

I basically am still at beyond idiotic beginner level and will be annoying with silly questions.
First one, as paradise park is RUBBISH, does anyone know of decent/good/great garden centres in the south east?
my garden WILL be a veritable delight of fruit and veg greatness... its big :-)

Hi, good luck with your new garden, so exciting

[Martin H]

Welcome back to the vine! Can't beat the fun of starting a new garden from scratch. Are you going to grow decorative stuff as well as edibles?

Hello and welcome back

[KirstieSparkle]

Aww thanks guys! And yay the forum works on my new phone :-)

I think I will grow some pretty things as well, probably around the decking and in pots to make nice smells. My boyfriends mum also said to plant marigolds with something (can't remember but think it was tomato's) to stop bugs???

It's kinda daunting to have a big empty space, what it I tear it all up and ruin it and then make it look rubbish lol

Did you learn anything from last year? Is so you didn't fail

Everyone loves questions and none of them are silly on here. You get some right daft answers tho

Good luck

Hi Kirstie, - good to have you back with us
Your new garden looks like a blank canvas - just waiting to ne "painted up" with some flowers and veggies. Maybe some fruit trees and bushes too.
Once you're settled in and have had time to think about what you'd like to grow, show us your ideas - and some photos, of course. As you'll remember, we're a nosey lot
