    Hi . As an older novice gardener, with black thumbs rather than green fingers. Live in Brittany, France with husband, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and a large black pet pig who aspires to be the gardener's friend. He has his uses as a waste disposal/composter and a rotivator but lacks finesse when it comes to weeding and planting. Needless to say he is banned from the polytunnel.

    Having lurked on here since beginning of January am looking forward to adding to the store of information and help I have gained from this site.

        Hello and welcome Digby'sgran

        I like your intro, especially the bit about the pig. I'd love a pet pig, but unfortunately I don't know if you can keep them in the back garden of a typical suburban semi:)

        Huh? What? On here? Where?

        Yes I can imagine it would spoil the plans a bit if your piggie got stuck in the polytunnel. :biggrin: I'm new too but welcome to Gardeners Corner!
