Hi everyone!
I'm Joao, growing veg and fruit trees in Hertfordshire, UK. Been at it for about 10 years now - tomatoes, courgettes, beans, plus a small orchard (apples, pears, figs).
Also a software developer, so I end up making spreadsheets for everything including my sowing dates.
Looking forward to picking up tips from you all!
Cheers,
Joao

Welcome to the forum from the Pacific Northwest!
 
Welcome Joao. I'm here in the northeast of the US, so probably close the same growing zone as you. It's cold here now with snow on the ground. I don't grow much in summer anymore, just tomatoes and squash or cucumbers usually, but I and my late husband planted a lot of trees over the past ten years. Apples grow very well here, as well as spruce, maple, and birch. Our land used to be pasture for our horses (RIP) but now we've re-forested a portion of it.
