1st time gardener!
7 comments
I’ve just recently starting trying to grow my own veg and herbs. I’ve never grown anything before, but a friend gave me cuttings from their chilli, romano pepper and sweetbite pepper plants and I didn’t kill them! I got a bit over excited and rushed out and bought a 4 tier growhouse and am now growing potatoes, sungold tomatoes, perpetual spinach, radish, beetroot, spring onions, chives and sweet basil. The chives are looking a bit pathetic as is the beetroot, but everything else is doing really well………so far. I’m now seriously thinking about putting a couple of raised beds in the back garden as I’ve already run out of space in the growhouse.
I’ve never been remotely interested in gardening but that’s all changed now. I’ve got a really stressful job and my ‘wee vegetable hoose’ is really helping to relax me and I can’t wait to taste my very own produce. Hopefully I’ll get some pictures up soon, but any advice is welcome! :-D

Thanks Bobg. Just looking through the site and you're right, I'm really glad I joined. Maybe if everyone started gardening, the world would be a calmer place...... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my wee veggies keep growing and who knows maybe I'll get those raised beds built!
Cheers :-D

welcome...come on in and sit a spell but caution must be given...too many stories of burnt breakfasts, lunches and suppers due to checking either the garden or GoY.
