Hello...

Hi Lucym,

Welcome to the vine, I am sure you will learn loads here and have a laugh too!

I only started myself last year and really did not know where to start, thanks to the grapes I was eating loads of home grown goodies from summer onwards.

Don't be affraid to ask no matter how silly you think the qustion is, no one will laugh they will just give loads of advice.

Happy growing, Mandy

Thought I would add myself in welcoming you as a nebie myself! Only been here just over a week and already I have gained a huge amount of knowledge thanks to these friendly grapes

Just keep asking questions and read all the other threads too, you will find them very useful. Dont be scared to ask as many questions as you want, its how we learn (and there are always new people around who also need to know).

Enjoy yourself

Welcome Lucym....

And that's a good point Shelle (and like you, I'm a Michelle originally!), reading all the other threads as well is a great way to take on board additional bits of information, without having to pose the question yourself, and it's amazinig just how much of it starts to 'sink in' after a while.

I've only been vegetable growing for the last three years, and it never ceases to amaze me how much more I'm learning, daily, from reading other people's threads.

The quick wit and general humour is also second-to-none on this forum.

Have a great growing season, and Trousers and myself look forward to sharing your successes and failures, along with everyone else here.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

So far, we've set up the raised bed kit and the seed pots are chitting away. Going to fill the bed today and plant shallots and radishes...
