Hello from the UK!

[Joao]

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

Hello Joao.

Welcome to theesygarden.

I'm really impressed on your growing a fig tree. Where I live we aren't allowed to grow trees at all.

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.

Why not? Do you live in a place with a strict homeowners association?

they need to be maintained... probably just them wanting to keep it simple.
