Hello everyone

Hi

I'm new to this site and also to gardening.....this is my first real garden as I used to live in Naval married quarters so never really did much in the garden except cut the grass......

No doubt I will have lots of questions to ask you all

Kate

 

Welcome!

 

Hi Kate
give yourself time to get used to the banter - its often left field.

And don't be afraid to participate - either to ask a question or to lob a grenade or two.

Enjoy the experience. If nothing else, check put the quiz that runs every day - just for fun.

Thanks for the welcome......you just might regret telling me to settle in.....haha :happydance:

 

Hi there and Welcome.

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Kate,

Navy eh? We have a Submariner member, he used to keep a Date Palm under his hammock.

 

i see your from sunny somerset too ziggy....i'm a bit of both.....live in somerset.....work in dorset....
lovely part of the country

 

Nice one Kate, i'm in West Bay at the moment, will be heading back to Hambridge in a bit, loaded up with Beetroot, Sugar Beet, Apples, Sugar & Vinegar, guess what i'm going to be doing:D

Catztail will be quaking in her boots when she sees another West Country member, we're raising an army to take over the rest of them

Which bits do you live and work in ?

 

I LOVE Westbay.....BEST seafood shop i've ever been to there....
I also love unpickled beetroot....i tried my hand at growing a few bits but didnt do well....lol


Are there a few members from somerset then???? Maybe one could come and tame my wisteria....
I live in Yeovil and work at the vets in Yetminster (so only just Dorset :D )

 

I'm the nearest member to you so far, Louise is on the North Coast & Strongylodon is on Portland.

You watch 3 dozen members come on now & say, Oi, Zig, what about me

Think I can picture the vets, was involved in some work on the church at Yetminster.

Does your wisteria need cutting back & will it involve a tower scaffold ?

Grew a few Beetroot this year,

 

Crikey....that's a beetroot and half that is!!! :thumb:

My wisteria is VERY over grown.....I moved in to this house in Feb and it doesn't look like anything has been done to it for years.....a little too daunting for me......
I didn't realise just how bad it was until i just took these pics

see my post in the general questions section.....but yes i would say it's going to need scaffolding or a rather large ladder :(

 

Hi Kate and welcome to GC. You gotta watch out for this lot or they'll change you into a turnip! Zigs, I'm just waiting for you to gather a big enough army to come help me get rid of my lawn.

 

heehee....I'm a northern girl originally......Yorkshire lass.....so thick skin....

 

We'll see what the wisteria lot suggest. I do have a tower scaffold & charge reasonable rates. References Available
