Trial growing

I’ve just filled in a form to be a trial grower for she grows veg.      looking for growers in 

Eastern & Western Scotland
The Highlands and outlying islands
Wales
Northern England

Good luck. Hope you're chosen! I filled in the form until the last question which required you to be on WhatsApp and I didn't want to sign up for that.

I find WhatsApp is handy for keeping in touch with various family groups. It's a good way to swap photo's too. Are you worried about the security aspect Veggi? None of my business of course!

I like WhatsApp because it gives me the option of dropping fb like a red hot brick if it annoys me to much ( which is fairly close most days.) before I had WhatsApp I couldn’t drop fb. Because no fb = no messenger . Without that I might of actually had to talk to people on the phone!  An outrageous thought   . I am using messenger less and less. But I agree having all the different ways of communicating does get annoying and a little confusing at times. I rebelled against WhatsApp for ages, but finally gave in. Still not a 100% I know what I’m doing with it. Don’t have a clue how to find new people on it   .

It’s a shame it wasn’t email or WhatsApp. But it was definitely both, I did notice that.

Just not interested in it. If I want to talk to my brother, I go and see him. We don't swap photos - we know what we look like!
It would just be another unneccessary app that I don't need. I dumped twitter/X a while ago. Rarely look at Instagram. FB is my limit.

I also didn't want to give them my mobile number - and my address. Too much personal information. Not even sure I want to grow their wacky seeds!

You’re still more technically advanced than me. I’ve never gone anywhere near twitter and instagram didn’t last long. Like you just don’t see the point. Fb is quite good for gardening stuff like finding out about trial growing and other stuff. It’s great for keeping track of my favourite animal charities and finding out what cetaceans are in our local waters. But it’s hard work keeping all the politics, haters & conspiracy theorists out of your feed.  Not forgetting advertising for stuff you have less than no interest in   .

Yeah I’m not convinced I trust the company that much, there’s some definite renaming going on. To make things sound more interesting. There seeds are ridiculously expensive. And a definite lack of trust with them never announcing winners of any of the competitions. But there is something about trialing seeds that really appeals to me. And I’d do it for anyone, even T&M     . It’s a level of science that I can cope with , like the plastic count, butterfly count, the rspb bird count. The recording frogspawn & shark egg case sightings. It seems to be my thing.

I've just had a wander round their seeds. I was amused by the Edible Christmas Tree. I think calling it Edible is stretching the description a bit https://shegrowsveg.com/product/christmas-tree/
