    Hi Warren. I am new too and really enjoying the forum, ( only a few weeks ) the knowledge is amazing and wonderful to tap into. I often joke that my greenhouse is my therapy room, half fun whole ernest.

  • Hello Warren, you won't be disappointed with advice or chit chat on here. I am also a new member and have had loads of help/advice, and so quickly too. I was from 'up north' Chorley way, but have now decamped to central France. Loving it, never seen such huge blooms, but on the down side never seen such fast growing weeds either!

    Hi Dordogne Damsel nice to meet you image

  • Good morning, beautiful day here, sunny and fresh - weeding today I think after the rain yesterday.Might be posting some pics later, sometimes I just don't know the good guys from the bad guys.

  • Hi everyone, I've been reading some posts over the last week or so but thought rather than just lurking I should say hello and introduce myself.

    I'm down on the coast in Devon and in need of lots of info about gardening right now! A couple of weeks ago hubby and I finally bought a house, and for the first time in my life I'm the proud owner of a garden. The house and garden were both in a right state, so not moved in yet but we're making inroads into both. 

    I was brought up helping my mum and nan doing their gardens, but mostly just following instructions so while I know a bit I'm basically a beginner.

    Hello and welcome all newcomers. Lots of gardening advice, but if you just want a chat there is Hello Forkers. Or look at the photos on the Garden Gallery or the Star in Your Garden.

    On books, John Seymour's Self Sufficiency is brilliant.  Don't know if it's in print though.

  • Thanks for the welcome. Big move in should be Tues, going to try and do more in the garden over the next few days while still have work going on inside. Never knew how excited I was going to get to have a garden (or compost heap) until this week!!
