New to the forum, not so new to gardening!

[Squingy]

Hello everybody!

I'm really obsessed with gardening and unfortunately after moving to the countryside I will have to give up my beautiful half plot, which is wrenching my guts out.

We used to swap seeds and since no more of that, I thought I would join some kind of online seed swap which brought me to this grapevine.

Looking forward to contributing in any way I can, and thanks to everyone for offering help and making this forum possible.

Hello Squingy and welcome to the Vine.
I'm guessing you have a garden at your new house where you can create another beautiful plot - so, its a new beginning.
As you've seen we have plenty of seed swaps so the first thing you need to do to participate, is be an active member for 3 months and make at least 50 posts during that time. Plenty more info in the Seed Swap threads.

Hello, Squingy, and welcome. It's hard to give up a thriving plot, but I'm sure you'll have fun in your new home. A new beginning for a new season. Hope you have a great growing year.

Hello and welcome

As VC has said you can't swap seeds until you have been a member for a while and have a few more posts under your belt but you can join our seed circles. They won't finish until the end of the season but you can plan on what you want to offer?
Have a read of the tomato circle here https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...8-a_95680.html ....all new comers welcome

Welcome Squingy. I'm sorry to hear you have to give up your plot, but would love to hear what space you've got to grow in now?

Love to hear someone describe themselves with obsessed... I was explaining to a colleague the other day that the plot wasn't so much of a hobby as a rabid obsession...

Thank you Veggiechicken.

I have a rental so unfortunately I can't go pog wild and dig up the backyard.

But the letting agent and landlord seem understanding. There were two muddy spots and a large open spot to the side of the house which of course have already been dug up by myself.

I kind of half asked for permission to "put beds" and "plant trees" and the agent said "it's your place you can do as you like...within reason."

If they object, I can regrass it as good as before but I wouldn't be able to do that to a large area!

I read the instructions on the seed swap boards, :-) I have some questions about it but will ask in the appropriate area.

Thanks again.
