My first post

x

Well here we are,  my first post.  I've just come from a year of living in Hanoi in northern Vietnam and landed my arse in New York, where the air is Spring filled!  I've brought with me my little WEINER DAWG, who seems to much prefer life here to the life he had in Vietnam, where I adopted him.  His potential for ending up on the end of a BBQ stick was growing as the days neared my departure.  He gave me one little crook of his head and I was done.  Got his papers, health check, rabies jabs &  here he is...next to me....a huge ordeal later.  Happy as a bean in a bowl of chili.
Talking of which, my boyfriend and I have started a little organic veggie patch here in NY.  We're planning on planting some herbs and vegetables.  What do you think?  Anyone got green fingers who could offer up any tips to a couple of beginners?
We've got:

• large red cherry tomatoes
• Alaska peas
• cucumbers
• grand rapids lettuce 
• and dark green zucchini squash.  

Call me a nob, but I didn't know zucchini and squash were the same thing!?  Perhaps not a great start to my garden!?


Either way, feel free to give me any advice you have on gardening!!!  I just feel veggies are so expensive here and not even that great and we should be able to eat healthily cheaply.  


I won't only be writing about my new interest in gardening, or yapping on about my darling dachshund.  I'll also talk about other random stuff that interests me, fascinates me and also does my head in, such as fashion, food and differences in cultures and bizarre social behaviour.  I might talk about music I'm listening to, or music I hate.  I might even talk about what comes out of my arse, seen as it always seems to affect my day!


Either way, read away or navigate away......I'm going to go for a walk before the rain starts up again.
