Hello from the East Midlands

I'm a botanist with a small plot, tiny lean-to greenhouse and lots of pots and troughs. This year I'm growing mostly tomatoes (22 varieties, but just 1 plant of most) and salad leaves.

I've joined to get some tips for my tomatoes.

 

Hi Cinnamon, welcome to the forum. Plenty of tomato growers on here!

 

Hello and welcome to GC Cinniamon

 

Welcome Cinnamon! Whereabouts in the east mids are you? I'm near Bakewell but originally from Nottinghamshire

 

Hello and welcome to GC.

 

Good morning Cinnamon,
hope you will find lots of interest here about tomatoes and other miscellaneous bits and pieces ,

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

 

Hello and welcome, you will like it here

 

Hi Cinnamon - and a warm welcome.
Do tell us a bit more about where you were working abroad, and what you working on, and what made you take up Botany professionally.

 

Welcome Cinnamon,

 

Hiya....welcome to GC.

 

Thank you all. I'm back in England after 10 years of living abroad working in international development in Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, Ghana and China. I'm from, and living in, Lincolnshire. This is my first year back to garden seriously, though I'm short of space and looking to move house. I work for a conservation organisation doing applied social research at the moment, though my background is all things planty e.g. plant resources in rural development.

Need to get a camera working and snap some of my dodgy Cucurbits for IDing. They are not what it said on the packet.

 

Hi


Your job sounds very interesting

 

Hi
welcome, me thinks you will be in good company here, there are some really knowledgable gardeners around (not me!) have fun!
