Name: Claire Leivers
Gothenburg, Sweden
Bringing homegrown too the table.
First frost date is Oct 15th.

I am South Sweden, so my climate is akin to North Scotland. When its cold, its COLD and there is lots of snow, but when Summer does arrive (last frost date is Mar 15th) it comes in full force. Just last week we were hitting 29c and it was glorious!

Yes, I have some 84 cell trays on order, and I am hoping for a polytunnel to start most things off in cells, then I shall plant out in the hoop house or direct depending on the produce and time of year. Salads I hope to do all year round, as well as most herbs.

I have done a lot of market research and it seems (surprisingly) that most people want carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. All good croppers so I should be okay, and they are fabulous to use in good rotation. (Beans followed behind in 5th as most wanted veg).

Some exciting news happening next week as well... I shall keep you all posted! Hurray!
I swear I'll have a permanent imprint of my palm over my face from reading forums.
