    Hi to everyone who has taken time to read this blurb about the (not so) fascinating world of me!

    So I have massive aspirations to be the keeper of an amazing garden, having just moved into a property that has an array of different plant life already growing. It's not the biggest of gardens, but I fully intend on making the most of all the space I can and at the same time making sure I don't bombard the garden so you can barely move.

    I have already has a mishap regarding a lovely parsley plant which I had to dispose of yesterday due to a disgusting infestation of fruit flies and their damn eggs, all the way up the stems of the parsley (I hate fruit flies with a passion, especially when I fear they are going to land on all the lovely food I am preparing) I am also on my way to having another potential issue with some spinach, but I shall go into that another day. I have also found that it is possible to kill an Aloe plant with heat. Who'd have thought it? A desert plant cannot stand dry heat...?

    So as you can tell, I am something of an amateur. But I am keen to learn from my mistakes and will appreciate any help given to me along the way.

    Was I supposed to talk about myself unrelated to gardening...? I am a very happy-go-lucky, positive person who is quite content to live in an oblivious-to-the-worlds-misery little bubble. I have many hobbies, mostly craft/sewing related which I seem to never have to time to do any of and all of which I have the desire to be a master of at some stage in my life! Just like with the gardening.

    May I be the first to congratulate you on making it this far down this riveting post and thank you again for taking the time to read about the wonderful world of me.

    Happy gardening! xxx

        Hi there, and welcome!

        Good to know that there is another crafter joining! When I'm not failing to tame my garden, I cross-stitch, knit, crochet, etc.... Or at least, I do if I'm not vegging in total exhaustion!! And you are so close to the bestest county there is. Ok, so even though I haven't lived there for nearly 30 years, I feel that my heart will always be rooted in Herefordshire...:smile:

        Looking forward to seeing more of your garden, and hearing of your plans.

                      Never mind Armandii CP, he's only allowed out of his room twice a week. And that's under strict supervision :roflol:
