How did you find us?

I do not envy you the task @Gail_68 - my daughter has recently turned 14, and while she is now becoming a reasonable human being, I doubt that my grey hairs will ever turn back to there prior colour.

Staffordshire is plenty close enough - you won't be asked for your address or even close locality on here, unless you are sharing seeds etc, in which case I strongly suggest you only share via PM.

The members here, as you have probably already gathered, are the best people you could choose to meet, and will truly become your friends whether you meet them or not.

There is an annual event held at our very own @shiney's house - for charity - which gives a great opportunity for GC members to meet up. @shiney, and his good lady are the finest people on the planet in my book - I am 41 and would let them adopt me tomorrow! You have already met our @Sheal (my rock), @Logan (general garden expert), and I am sure you will meet the many others in due course.

The staff team comprise of:

@ARMANDII (astronomer, gardener and all round good guy)
@Zigs (expert in old building restoration, lead windows, veggies and home manufacturer of alcohol)
@wiseowl (the gentleman of the team - refined, cultured, runs the photo competitions and posts the absolute best videos of his walks)
@Marley Farley (more gardening skill than I have forgotten, and one of the best friends that anyone could choose)
and little old me @Fat Controller (I take care of matter electronic, computer and technical)

If you want to draw a certain member's attention to a thread, simply put the @ symbol in front of their username - this will send them an alert to look at your thread.

Please don't hesitate to ask for help/advice, either from the staff team or the members - you are guaranteed that you will get plenty of help to see you settle in.

I look forward to chatting with you (hopefully over many months and years) around the forums

 

My hair is not white......I call it Ash Blonde

As FC has said, Gail, you'll find that the GC Gang are really friendly and helpful and they are the Essence of all that makes Gardeners Corner as great as it is. The Admin Team are easy to contact should the need arise, while keeping a gentle eye on things, and as you've seen by FC's absolutely brilliant honest and open, sympathetic, understanding and friendly reply it's typical of all the GC Gang's approach to Life. Enjoy GC and the GC Gang. We'll send you the GC Blue Pills and "Special Jacket" which is to be worn in times of stress and FC, Ziggy, and I wear all the time while Marley Farley and Woo haven't worn for a while as they are more sane.

 

Hi Gail, welcome to Gardeners Corner I think you'll like it here

 

We have been replying to you, Tetters, but that hat of yours is suppressing everything digital.

It does say in the instructions, [well, yours anyway] that you should wear the Jacket while eating, and let the Warden feed you by spoon,thus avoiding any temptation to nibble/bite on other things.

Ziggy has concocted his own special strength Blue Pills made from the dregs of his own Home Brew, mushrooms that he doesn't eat but puts to other uses, and Bat droppings so he'll send you those Please ensure you are wearing the new special Jacket [upgraded] when sitting in the padded Garden Shed when you take the Pills........and Good Luck

 

Ziggy saying he's having trouble getting your prescription right, BH, as the glass bottles keeping melting when he puts the Pills in.

 

Ziggy uses Bat Droppings in most of the Blue Pills [with a double dose for Tetters], BH, but reckons your prescription use such items that require him to wear his.......



Ziggy also says that the Bat Dropping add an extra "Zing" and helps digestion,




while also keeping your teeth white
