Hello! - ElJayEss - 12-07-2020
Hello from Kent, UK!
I'm pretty new to gardening, only having a garden for a year.
Last year, I went crazy and wanted to grow EVERYTHING and not much worked out, apart from some strawberries, peas and dwarf beans.
This year I've pulled it back, worked out what space I have (as I'm growing everything in containers) and now have alot more growing for me, including chillies, tomatoes and uchiki kuri squash!
For next year, I'm going to be even more organised! I've made sure to have the exact seeds for what I want to grow (in my first year I bought 60 different packets of seeds from Wilko's 10p seed sale!), mainly through swaps.
I also want to have more flowers, so have quite a collection of various seeds to try out.
I'm looking forward to getting some support and inspiration from this page!

Hello and welcome to G&G
I grow in a mix of beds and containers I find things like potatoes, lettuce, herbs and courgettes do fine in containers so long as you water/feed well.
Gardening is mostly trial and error just a matter of finding what works for you

Hi and welcome to G&G! We're a friendly bunch and I hope you will enjoy your stay!
It sounds like you're having a lot of fun too! That is the best way, isn't it? I don't mind if it isn't all successes - in fact, I quite like the learning that comes with things that go wrong
And if you have any questions, this is definitely the place to ask

Hello and welcome from me too.
I'm impressed by someone who can buy 60 packets of seeds from Wilkos. Give me a shout when their sales on next - you can never have too many seeds.
