Hello.

[Giri]

Architectural blacksmith, Morecambe Bay area, now retired and living in Andalucia, Spain, 20 miles inland from the Costa del Crime, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. I´m trying to catch up with a garden that has three growing seasons and lots of fruit trees, also learning Español (slowly), doing a bit of motorcycling, and playing various instruments, mostly ukulele.

Lovely part of Spain, do you ever go walking in the hills or is that what the motorbike is for ?

As @kev says, if you can`t understand what our resident horticultural expert @Joey66 says, I can help out ( mostly ).

Ps - If he asks you if you`d be interested in him setting up a load of polytunnels to grow some " special " tomato plants for his mate who lives on the Costa del Sol, the answer is always NO.

If you could say hello without making everyone hate their life, that'd be great.

Welcome.

Walking in the hills COYBL25 ? I´m in a canyon and the bottom of my garden lies 275 feet below, (not that the last bit is accessible to any but the faeries) so the effort of going up and down is all the exercise I could wish for. The locals are however prolific walkers, and a popular path divides my garden, bringing many explorers to the canyon.

However did you guess Methuselah? Norris Green was always my second choice, but something about the 8 hours of sunshine a day, the wine and the tapas, the festivals and the laid back atmosphere, the fantastic roads and scenery, the bars where everyone says hello when you walk in, (not to mention the excellent health service) I SAID NOT TO MENTION THE EXCELLENT HEALTH SERVICE, - well, somehow I ended up here.
Let me stress that the fact that this is the European marijuana growing centre of operations had absolutely nothing to do with my sojourn here.
But it does smell nice in the autumn.
As long as I keep it to myself, on my own property, I can grow and smoke it to my soul´s content.
And I do.

Layne -- and I say this with feeling, some oysters would get absolutely nowhere without an annoying bit of grit.
I´m here for you buddy.

Welcome to the forum...

Thanks for posting the metaphysics on my profile page.

Scary concept is it not?
I think you just have to be philosophical, and not think about it.
