Growing veg is her forte?!! Ffssss. I started growing veg last year just before her in a single raised bed in my garden, you know, like a normal person. Overall it was pretty disastrous. I got a few courgettes, potatoes and some scrawny carrots but all my brassicas were eaten, we were overridden with slugs, the neighbours cats shat in the beds, the tomatoes never actually produced tomatoes, and my onions disappeared before they even reached an inch high. Lessons learnt and I will try again this year. Is it my forte?!!! No it bloody isn’t!! Something isn’t your forte until you have proven yourself to be good at it, and knowledgeable about it, enough to advise others. She admits she has to google everything (as do I) but that is the difference between being normal, and being a raging narc. I know my limitations and she thinks she is Monty flipping Don. It isn’t your forte, Lydia. You are a total beginner who has all the gear and no idea. Own it. Say you don’t have a clue and you are learning. Infuriating woman.
Edited to add...I’m doing mine alongside my full time job, with two kids biting at my ankles, and without wearing brown old lady gilets and looking like a total numpty.
