    Hi, I'm Marie and now in my 3rd year of gardening.

    I'm mostly interested in growing vegetables and some fruit in our small town garden.

    I had a polytunnel for about 2 years which was great until Storm Doris wreaked it earlier this year. I've since got a greenhouse which I love and it's full of tomatoes, cucumbers, French beans, aubergines, peppers, lettuce, basil and courgettes.

    This forum looked like a good place to be :)

              Thanks everyone - sorry I can't like your posts yet. I guess that kicks in sometime later when I'm not such a newb!

              Laughed at the "I'm a friendly one" let's hope you all are lol :)

                      Thanks, where would we be without humour. Laughter is the best medicine, so I hear. Gardening is maybe the second best :D

                            :) It could mean "crafty" as in sneaky! But, no. I do like crafts.

                            I really only have spare time for gardening during the warmer months. In the winter I like to crochet and I do quite a few paper crafts as well as Hama beads with my daughter. Our absolute favourite crafts are making things to decorate the home for occasions like Halloween and Christmas.
