Hello from Swansea

Hi I'm Matt from the Uplands in Swansea.
I have just started gardening after a break for a number of years and I like shrubs and trees mostly but also growing some vegs. This year I am trying runner beans, tomatoes, radish and spinach. I don't have a lot of room so mostly in tubs but I have had reasonable success in the past this way when I was in my other house.
I have a particular love for Japanese acer trees
I look forward discussing stuff with people

 

Welcome to the forum!

Croeso ! Welcome to Gardeners Corner, I hope you enjoy it.
I know the Uplands in Swansea, I had an aunt living there years ago.

 

Thank you all

 

Welcome @TheBeeftomato



There are quite a few of us from South Wales on here. Big Acer fan here too - my favourite.

 

Hello! @TheBeeftomato , welcome

 

Hi and to Gardeners Corners.

 

Yes, the japanese maples are spectacular, my neighbour has one in the front garden.....makes me realise how much we take trees for granted....they are absolutely amazing things !

 

I'm originally from South Wales.

 

I played rugby against a Swansea Uplands team in the late 1970's on an Easter tour, hope your gardening is more successful, sure we lost the game.
