I am a newbie, learning fast(ish), only started my relationship with Lottie a couple of back breaking months ago, but we haven't fallen out - yet.
I plan to use raised beds in 'sq.foot' type growing - so far, so good. Would love to share ideas & learn from you all, & all those in West Yorks .... might invite you round for 'hands on advice'........!

Personally I'm very partial to Castle Howard and have v happy memories of visitng house and gardens. It was where Brideshead Revisited was and currently again is being filmed!
Harlow Carr? Can I come as an adoptive Yorkshire man... my OH is from York but I'm from the other side!
:o
I know Castle Howard as I used ti go to dog shows there, I don't know the other one XX Jeannine
I just looked up Castle Howard apparently they are refilming Brideshead Revisited between 4th June to 7th July, it says visitors are still welcome ,some bits may be closed however,There is among other things an ornamental veggie garden.
Welcome to the forum Archiesmum, I'm from West Yorks too.
Well then all you Yorkshireites??
Hi archiesmum, see look what you have started!
Hope you all enjoy ;D
So what are we going to do
My grandmother came from Yorkshire .. does that count?
Of course,actually I think most folks could claim Yorkshire roots if they dig deep,we were and still are a pretty friendly lot so we are told XXXX Jeannine
SO ALL OF US DOWN SOUTH WILL HOLD OUR OWN GATHERING :P Anyone here south of the Tamar????? lol have fun you Northers ;D
When I'm 'home' I'm to be found around Skipton area. Hoping for a visit mid-late July.
excellent! When were you thinking of Jeannine?
I don't know, I am waiting for ideas??????????????Help
Right here's some more then. http://www.gardenseeker.com/gardens_open_visit_/gardens_open_yorkshire.htm (http://www.gardenseeker.com/gardens_open_visit_/gardens_open_yorkshire.htm)
I really don't care. Yorkshire's beautiful and the company will be good so I'm happy to go with the flow.
(clears throat... teacher's voice):
Right folks! Listen up! We want to know if you want to meet up in Yorkshire. Please.
We want to know when would suit? Kenkew has suggested mid to late July. Does that suit? If not suggest when you'd like it.
We want to know where you'd like to go? Saddad has suggested Harlow Carr http://www.rhs.org.uk/WhatsOn/Gardens/harlowcarr/ (http://www.rhs.org.uk/WhatsOn/Gardens/harlowcarr/) Are you all right with that? If not tell us where you'd like to go please.
Rant over. Cough cough.
IMHO southerners would also be welcome. (My grandfather was French. That's South innnit? :P)
Skipton is us.
..and for the record, I for one would have no problem in you Southerners joining us at all, I think that would be super
XX Jeannine
I will organise if no one else has time etc it if someone gives me some ideas as to where?????????
Castle Howard has been mentioned , what do you all think and when please.
I am going to move this to a more prominent spot I will call it THE YORKSHIRE(and friends) A4A meet ???
