Hello all. Like the title indicates this is new territory for me. I have swapped my desktop for a watering can. I have started growing chillies earlier this year with some good and bad results and with the help of my lovely wife I have kept a voodoo fuchsia alive and want to get better and learn to grow veg for next year.

Hiya Wardy, Im a newbie trying to grow veggies too! Have you a greenhouse and all or did you just grow them out in your garden? So far ive a couple of tomato plants, runner beans a few herbs and an orange tree (sans oranges lol) all doing surprisingly ok so far

I was only growing the chillies in my garage. I have plans for a greenhouse and I just posted them up on a new topic on this forum to get peoples opinions on it. I plan to put garlic and onions and something else growing over the winter in it. I didn't even know you could grow an orange tree in ireland to be honest.

Welcome Wardy...it sounds as if your main interest would be in the culinary arts...would I be right ? It's a good way to get into gardening.
