Hello all from a complete newbie

Well first off HI

So Yesterday was my 28th birthday and my dear parents got me a greenhouse (need to install it yet).

I am completely new to it all and find myself bewildered and unsure. When i was a young kid my grandad use to grow tomatoes, herbs, marrows and cucumber in a greenhouse I use to love picking them fresh to eat. Now being a father myself with a 4yo terror i would love to give her an oppertunity to experience it too. Since grandad pased away nearly 10 years ago i have never eat fresh tomatoes (don't seem to like anyone elses)

Now im aming to grow Tomatoes, Cucumber, herbs and a few other bits and pieces but not sure how. So in truth i am helping that people on here can help. I have purchased several books and starting to read them now.

Well thats it for now
Feel free to e-mail etc me at any time.

My other hobbies are reptiles i keep and breed reptiles too.

Thanks
Tony

 

welcome to the nutty farm...where you from mate?

 

hi Tony welcome to gc have fun :gnthb:

 

Thanks all i am from somerset. I would get it up quick if it was here LOL ben waiting for delivery for days GRRRR

 

Welcome to GC, another Herpetile.:gnthb:

Couldn't quite make out the avatar, looked like Water Dragons
I am just down to Fire Belied toads now.

 

Nope they are bearded dragons. In the way of herps we have. 2 adult beardies 7 babys (for sale) 1 3ft yellow snow corn (for sale) 2 blue spiny lizards (looking to buy females) 2 grey tree frogs.

Plus i work in a pet store in charge of reptiles so also have 2 baby beardies, 2 adult beardies (boarding) 2 corn snakes, 1 crested gecko 1 leopard gecko

On the greenhouse front it still has not been delivered :(

 

I have tried in vain to get female Oriental Fire Bellies, all the ones for sale are always male.

Have kept Whites, Grey and Green Treefrogs and Leopard Geckos in the past and many years ago when they were freely available, Retics.

Like you and reptiles, my work( growing plants) and hobby overlap.

 

Many thanks. Well as for positioning i only really have one place to put it. Its one of the only places my garden gets sunshine for most of the day. No it does not come with a base. A friend recomended digging out my garden a little and put railway sleepers around the outside and fix the house on to them.

 

Yeah i can not wait to get some tomatoes
