Member since: Sep 07 | Years gardening: 3 Folia Supporter Folia Helper

Hello there, my name is Nic and I’m one half of the folia team. I live in London, UK and have a nice reasonably sized rooftop terrace to garden.

I am definitely not what you would call an expert gardener – I have currently more failures than successes under my belt at the moment, but that is soon to change – my confidence grows with every little success I have in the garden.

My biggest success last year was definitely my tomatoes – bowls and bowls full of yummy, tasty, grown-by-me goodness!

If you have a question about the site, best not to message me direct – you’ll get a faster response if you try the Bugs & Issues group, the Suggestions & Feedback group or the Contact Us page . Thanks!

[Archived] The Strawberry Patch garden
