Hi,
I'm Steve, a new member to this forum from Chester.
We have a nice sized garden.
I developed a plot for growing veg in the autumn. However, the plantings have not done very well! This has made me realise that it would be good to talk to others with experience.
Looking forward to this.
Steve

 

Hi there @Steven1103 and ...



Not really much of a veggie grower myself...dabble now and then with varying degrees of success. You are definitely in the right place here , lots of lovely people ' in the know ' will be only to pleased to help you.

Check out here ...Edible Gardening

 

Welcome Steve, Whether Plants or Veggies, all can be hit and miss at times depending on..I have only just realised that seeds are much better off with seed compost...many poor results from using other types including our own from the composter....the penny has dropped thanks to Gardeners Corner, sure you will get some good helpful tips that just make the difference for some success, not only in the Garden either....

 

Thanks all for the replies.
I think one of my issues was starting on the veg growing experience in the autumn . Think I should have started with spring planting.
Good tip about seed compost as well. I put cabbage seeds in the ground!!!! Not good with the wind, cold, snow and rain.
Will try again with seeds in pots then planting out.

 

Welcome to the forum
Better to start seed sowing in the spring I think ... Good luck ! You'll get plenty of friendly advice on here ...

 

Hello and welcome to GC forums

Yes it's best to start in the spring.
Don't do much veg as i used to, here it's easier growing fruit. But i do grow tomatoes and Chillies.

 

We all have one thing in common as well, we grow..WEEDS..not by choice normally
