Gardener in Spain

Good afternoon - Happy Gardeners.

New to the forum and just popping in to say 'hola'

I am British but have lived and gardened in Spain for 7 years - its been hard adjusting to gardening in a hot country and learning what will and wont work but I'm getting there.

I'm a have-a-go sort of gardener and just love to have some green things around me, along with my four cat :D

Well thats it for now, great to be here, off to check some of the forums out

 

Hi CactusLady welcome to gardeners corner.

 

Welcome to our friendly forum CactusLady.

Please share with us your gardening experience I'm sure most of us here in chilly England will be green with envy with what you are able to grow in Spain...I know I am for one!

Helen.xxx.

 

Hi Ann!

Great to see you've joined us

 

Welcome to the forum CactusLady

 

Welcome to GC Cactus lady. :D

 

Ola outra vez, CactusLady. I did speak to you in Garden Lights but I'll welcome you formally in your Introduction.

It's nice to have another Med person on board (although I am not truly Med). There are a few expats in Spain on the forum but haven't seen them lately.

Hopefully we can exchange info and tips (assuming you are on the Med and not up North).

Enjoy!

 

welcome to gc cactus lady, I,m hoping to be moving to spain in 2 years time, hoping to have fruit trees, grow veg and have hens and a cockrel, maybe madrid way inland. enjoy gc you will get loads of advice

 

thanks for the warm welcome ! I am slowly working my way around, theres lots of forums to check out

Rosa - bet you cant wait to get here - I suppose you're gonna get yourself a finca out in the campo ! Good luck and keep us posted !

L.o.L - I do live on the med about 20 mins away from the sea and its a very arrid area - looking forward to learning some tips from you

 

cactus lady, yes we fancy buying a finca something we can put our own stamp on would be lovely, going to be about 2 years time, we willfly over for a holiday, hire a car and start looking, cant wait.

 

Evening t'other Lady.

I'm about 20 minutes from the sea also but I'm not arid. We have a friend who has many properties near Nerja and inland somewhat and they/she (he died last year) were shocked the difference of our climate/landscape, ie, how green we are here in Algarve compared to southern Spain.

I posted some pics today in my Algarve Garden of us in the rain today ... the first real rain we've had all year and almost more than we had last winter.

rosa thought about coming here but has settled on Spain ... so maybe we can both help her out.

 

Hi Ann,

Nice to see you here.

 

Hey there Ann! I made it over here! :D

 

Hi CactusLady and a warm welcome from me too.

Don't waste your time looking at other forums as this one is the very best and so varied. I know that you'll enjoy it no end.
