I joined this site in June of this year and I've got so much out of it - these are some of the things I've learned:
1. You can ask questions and someone will try to help.
2. I now know what kohlrabi looks like.
3. A new word - bokashi - I don't know what it means but I've learned a new
word.
4. It's worth a try, growing brocolli in bins.
5. Some good ideas of what to grow over the winter months.
6. From the section on what people harvested each day:
I've decided to use something from the garden each day, even if it's
just a few leaves of basil or a sprig of rosemary. We've had rain each
day since mid-June so pickings haven't been great.
7. How to make onion marmalade - this recipe proved very useful, as the
onions were tiny, wet and tasteless (see rain, above) but the marmalade
is lovely.
8. To be thankful for what we've got from the garden - a few courgettes
made it through, and the carrots (in a container to outwit the carrot
fly) are abundant and gorgeous. This ties in with 6. above - even if the
weather hasn't been the best, the garden has still given us some
produce we wouldn't otherwise have had.
I'm going to finish here as I feel I'm taking the positive approach way over the limit.
Seriously, thanks to everyone on these forums - I've got great tips and help.
