      Hi Jake, :sign0016: to GC :thumbsup:, I'm sure you will enjoy the forum :), we won't encourage you to log on whilst you are at work but it will happen!!!! :heehee:, joking aside do ask lots of questions, there's so many very knowledgeable people on here who will be more than happy to help you. We would love to see some photos of your garden & if you could tell us which direction it faces that would also help us to help you choose the right plants. :thumbsup:

        Welcome to GC !

        As you can see by my profile, my gardening climate and the plants I am familiar with are totally different than yours but like everyone here, we will jump in to help with advice where possible.

        Enjoy this crowd and make sure you plug in your funny bone to enjoy this crowd !

          Have a look at the thread " Super Salvias 2016 " under the " General Gardening Discussions " heading.

          I reckon you'll like them :)

              @Stiff Lil Green Fingers - We all love photos around here, especially when they show your progress as you work your way through, so you might want to start a thread to follow your garden's progress. Doing so helps others give you advice and tips as you go, and keeps our inner nosey blighters happy :bigggrin:
