Not particularly a new gardener, but only recently joined Gardeners Corner!

having now retired I am busy reclaiming overgrown beds and shrubberies from the grip of brambles and nettles which the birds helped propagate during the last seven years or so when I worked away from home Monday to Friday.

We live in Bridlington on the East coast and my garden (including the house) chains out at 1/3 of an acre.

I am tackling small section one at a time and this year have grown vegetables for the first time in years.
Also I am kept busy too with approx 50 Chrysanthemum plants raised from cuttings.

Am happy to chat should anyone feel so inclined.

Lovely to have you join us. Congratulations on your first year of vegetable growing What did you plant and how is your harvest?

Crikey, that's a lot! Are they one of your passions?

Looking forward to getting to know you around the forum

Of course! (No one could mistake you for "nice" )

 

Hi Shiney & M, thanks for the response.

Yes I have always loved Chrysanths and treat myself to six early spray last year. The number of cuttings which took proved to be a fluke seeing as it was my first time in taking them.

The vege growing has been limited this first year and consists of courgettes - climbing french beans - turnip - beetroot - broad bean & tomatoes.
We have enjoyed our crops off them so far.

 

Welcome to GC David. Good luck with the garden retrieval, perhaps you might like to post some pictures for us to see along the way.

 

Hi David....welcome to the forum

 

Your fingers must be greener than you first thought Well done on that achievement though, I always feel a sense of achievement when a cutting takes
