Hello from a (finally) sunny Spain

Post: # 201333Post gypsophelia »

Hi :wave:
We have been in Spain for seven years, we've always grown veg and friut,and since moving here are pretty self sufficient, we have added to the orchard, put in herb, fruit and veg gardens though i have to stick flowers in there somewhere and herbs in my flower beds! We bought a 20 ft polytunnel this year and its already too full and too small :mrgreen:
We live in a small village in the country with fab people and have inadvertantly started a food exchange program, I took a pavlova next door when we first got here and got home made cheese and chorizo back, its snowballed a bit to involve the whole village!

There is always space for another plant :flower:

Hello! I'm another newbie. Your growing things sound lovely, I think you can claim the herbs in the flower beds are either potager style or you're working on companion planting!
The food exhange sounds fantastic, well done!

Hi and welcome! I have flowers in my herb bed or is it the other way round! Anyway most herbs flower and look really pretty so they generally do well together.
