Gandalf is friends with Bilbo and presumably other hobbits. But when did he first meet hobbits of the shire and when did he first visit the shire?

I'm not sure if we know precisely when Gandalf first became aware of either the hobbits or the Shire, but we know that he was in the Shire during the Long Winter of 2758-2759 (Third Age). He helped the hobbits survive that winter. Gandalf later became friends with Gerontius Took (the Old Took; T.A. 2790-2920).
I never knew that thank you. Learning about middle earth and its inhabitants is like my life blood.
