    Hello and thanks for letting me join.

    I'm Kate. I live on the East Yorkshire coast, near Hornsea. I'm mostly here for the tomato chat but I also grow just a few peppers, aubergines, beans, peas, courgettes and potatoes. For flowers, I like oriental poppies, violas and pinks.

    Welcome @eatenbyweasels . As a relative newcomer myself, i have found this site a real mine of information with lots of helpful member input.

    It is good to see a wide range of areas which people enjoy, and while i have been limited with growing edibles, i have had moderate success when i have tried. Chillis and Courgettes have been my favourites.

      Hi, Sogni! I have only a small garden, but I try to pack as much in as possible.

        Yes I do Kate but I don't 'do' edibles just tropicals and exotics as such. It is too much in the heat and locally grown food is cheap.

          Hello and welcome to the forum @eatenbyweasels

          I grew up in E. Yorks - near Driffield - it's a nice part of the world.

                The family farm was on the edge of the flat bit, we had views across the Holderness plain to the 'lovely' cooling towers in Hull

                  "Was"? Did you sell up or fall in?

                  EDIT: Realised that you probably meant the inland edge, not the falling-in bit. :doh:

                    Welcome to the forum @eatenbyweasels !

                    Whenever you get a few moments, you can click on your own name and add your general location to your profile so it is right there for everyone to see if you have any questions or experiences you'd like to share. This helps us to try to help with responses that are appropriate to your area and then you also don't have to include the information in your posts. :)

                    I love pinks too. I can't ever get enough of their scent. :blue thumb:
