Hello to all!
I'm new to this site and am looking forward to learning all that I can
from you, as well as giving opinions, if I feel qualified to do so! ;o)
I am an American, in America and will be moving to England sometime
this year... I love to garden - flowers, herbs and lately, veggies! My
hubby is from there (Lincoln)... and about all the gardening he had
done was growing bamboo!
Now, I need to know how things work over there... Are there any sites
I can go to to learn how the zones work there? What can be grown there?
Are your zones numbered the same as ours? What kind of growing seasons
do you have? Yadda, yadda... Also, I've been reading the thread about
greenhouses... Are these houses just to start seeds and transfer out or
are the seasons so short that they might as well be left to do their
thing in a greenhouse? Can these greenhouses be used for a winter
garden?
I don't want to offend anyone, so please let me know if there is
something I had said that was out of line... I know all to well that
there is a slight difference between my version of English and yours.
;o) Thank you!
I'd appreciate all your help!
Erin

Hi Erin,
Welcome to URG.

We don't really have zones in Europe like you do in the US, but the following
sites translates US zones into European ones:
http://www2.dicom.se/fuchsias/eurozoner.html - might be useful :~)

The US is so huge that I guess you can grow more or less anything in various
parts of it. Where were you living?

Greenhouses are used for starting seeds, growing crops (veggies & fruit) or
housing cacti :~))
Depends what you want to do with one (pics of mine on my site at
www.ljconline.nl)
Using one as a wintergarden might be a bit chilly unless you don't find paying
for heating it.......

No offending things in your post, just don't mention racoons in the
corn............... :~))
