Member since Tuesday, 04 Sep 07

Hello there, my name is Nic and I’m one half of the folia team. I live in London, UK at the moment and only currently have windowsills to garden from (Lucky for me that there are quite a few of them and they are wide enough to hold some reasonably sized containers.)

I am definitely not what you would call an expert gardener – I have currently more failures than successes under my belt at the moment, but that is soon to change – my confidence grows with every little success I have in the garden.

My biggest success last year was definitely my tomatoes – bowls and bowls full of yummy, tasty, grown-by-me goodness!

If you have a question about the site, best not to message me direct – you’ll get a faster response if you try the Bugs & Issues group, the Suggestions & Feedback group or the Contact Us page . Thanks!

Nic's The Strawberry Patch garden

Zone 8 It's not so much a patch - it's more like two containers at opposite ends of the house that I grow different types of strawberries in. I thought I might separate them into a gar...
