Newbie veg gardener here. So hello.

Last year I grew a few salady-type things from bought in small plants and
grew them on. This year is my first year at attempting to grow a greater
range of veg and to grow things from seed. Got my strapping son to dig me a
couple of veg plots in the garden and I am gradually filling them up.

Cheers, helen s (Norfolk)

Evening, Rusty!

So far... I'm managing to keep on top of the weeds... I reckon there's
nowhere in England as fertile for stinging nettles as Norfolk ;-)

I'm in mid-Norfolk - between Swaffham & Dereham. Lots of drizzle with the
odd bit of heavier stuff today.

One thing I have found most useful is the metcheck web site - the weather
forecasts are more detailed and more accurate, I feel, than the Tv ones.
I've been checking it daily to keep an eye on potential frosty nights.

So far I've got going

runner beans
dwarf beans of a couple of varieties
broad beans
peas
beets of a couple of varieties
chard
spring onions
radishes
lettuces
carrots
kale
tomatoes (many sorts..)
sweet peppers
various chillies
various courgettes & summer squashes
a couple of varietes of potatoes
red onions
pot marigolds
dwarf sunflowers
loads of different herbs

So I'm hoping that I should manage to get *something* to the point of
harvest.. but then again, Mother Nature may just bite me on the bum...

Cheers, helen s

Hi & thanks.

up info on all matters gardening, particularly veg gardening!

Cheers, helen s

We've had a few snow flurries today but they've had over 75cm just south of
here with more expected!
BTW haven't forgotten about the 9yr old cheddar!
