Hello from yorkshire

[ianw]

Hi. My name is Ian and I just had to join as most of my google gardening searches point to here.

This is my first year at veg growing. I've ripped up the lawn and planted potatoes, carrots (I was going to build a one foot fence aound the plot and staff it with ants armed with assault rifles to combat the carrot fly but I could find any)
er...

Garlic (mixed in with my carrots) Cabbage, Caulis, marrows, peas and herbs.
(phew)

Hi Ian

Don'y worry overmuch - I've never even seen a carrot fly.

Hello Ian

Welcome aboard.

[ianw]

Thanks. I forgot to mention that i've got a ton of mixed lettuce growing too.


Why am i inside when I should be outside weeding?

[Shirley]

Can't answer that... but can tell you to get out there and weed if that helps

[ianw]

I'm going now, I only came back inside because my thumb and forefinger is stinging like buggery.

I read once that you can pick nettles if you grasp them firmly. I thought I'd have a go. Guess what

[MKG]

Fell for that old cherry, eh?

Hi Ian

Don'y worry overmuch - I've never even seen a carrot fly.

But have you seen a peanut stand? Or even a rubber band?
