    Hello from rainy Whitley Bay!

    I bought a flat two years ago with a huge garden. After renovating the flat, I've finally got around to doing something with the garden. Someone recently gave me a 8x6 foot greenhouse so I'm growing tomatoes, peppers and chillies in that.

    In the ground I've got potatoes, carrots (although I don't think the soil is right), rocket, mixed leaf, courgettes, peas and some dwarf beans. Oh, I've got a couple ton of manure composting down too.

    Completely new to all this - not sure what to expect. Great fun at the moment!

    :) Hello harveypooka and welcome to GC.

    I probably won't chat to you much as I'm into a different scenario gardenwise but our rosa/Linda is around the corner from you so perhaps she'll find you, although she only has a beautiful balcony about to collapse under the weight of flowers and vines. :hehe:

    Enjoy the forum.
