    hi all,

    I’m new here and am liking what I’ve seen/read, it’s especially nice to find a forum which isn’t on FB and English!

    I’m about as far south as possible on the Isle of Wight, and was lucky enough to be able to re train from a chef into horticulture. Stupidly set up on my own last month but to my surprise I have almost a full round as well as our own country garden and we’ve just taken up an allotment to teach littlen about fruit and veg! I’ve got far too many ideas, hopes and dreams and hopefully along the way you guys may be able to help as what I’ve read So far there seem to be some seasoned folk here!

    Craig.

      Hi Craig, welcome to Gardeners Corner
      Well done that man!!:thumbsup: It's good to hear your self employed business is doing well and we all wish you luck with it all.

      We have members in different countries, those who garden from balconies, concrete backyards, those with small gardens, medium sized gardens, those with a couple acres or more, and those from the beginners to the long experienced, the specialists, and those with allotments....so it's a fair spread of gardening knowledge. You'll find the members are very friendly and more than willing to give good advice and help, so enjoy it all!!:snorky:

        Welcome Craig. I think Armandii has covered everything, so settle yourself in and have a good look around. :)
