Hello from Scandinavia

Hi everyone! I'm a beginner/intermediate gardener in Scandinavia. I do indoors gardening for one half of the year, usually starting in Sep/October and lasting until May, but due to warming temperatures, our first and last frost are being moved closer so our summer growing season is slowly getting longer. :D

Happy to be here and learn from everyone.

Greetings from Yorkshire. One of my favourite tomatoes is Imur Prior Beta, which is reportedly Norwegian.

Our growing season is also stretching, which is not entirely a good thing. (Some plants require a certain amount of Winter chill to perform properly.)
