Hello from Staffordshire!

Chrystal Tips · Wed Jul 06, 2005 5:32 pm

Hello! My partner and I are in our 30's (early!!

) and have been getting more into growing our own veg over the past few years. We've been growing more year by year as we've rescued more of our garden from weeds and rubbish left by the last owners!!

Great to 'meet' you all

Nice to meet you too, Chrystal Tips

They are a good bunch here, so I hope that you hang around!

Hi Crystal Tips
Welcome to the site.

Isn't the taste of fresh veg wonderful. There's no comparison with the 'stuff' the supermarkets sell - although I try to avoid supermarkets like the plague. What sort of veggies are you growing?

Hi Chrystal Tips ~ and Alistair?

Anyone remember that kids programme? Oh I am showing me age people.

Welcome!

It was a very bad cartoon on just before bedtime (the six o'clock news) about a girl with mahoosive amounts of hair and her dog ~ Alistair. Can't remember one single story line, but I remember her hair!

Think I used to have hair like Crystal Tips during my hey-day in the 60's. All back-combed and laquered. Maybe I'm deluding myself and I looked more like the DOG.

Lanie,

You are making me laugh! (mind you, we could all do with a smile today)

Hi Chrystal,
Don't worry about the rest of them - they do tend to go off into a world of their own and talk about cartoons etc.

Anyway WELCOME

and Shiney - yes you are showing your age

- Although I watched it too

We are growing tomatos, courgettes, broccoli, lettuce stuff and dwarf green beans, onions and potatoes. Hoping to get some fruit bushes in for next year too!

Not posted till now I've been on my hols ferrying round the tent while my partner walked the Pennine Way.
