Hi. New to gardening

Hi everyone. I'm still learning but I already kept 2 Dumb Cane plants and a Rubber tree alive all winter and I want to grow other plants too. I have lots of space in the back yard to grow stuff. I'm hoping I can learn tons more from this forum and get new ideas.

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Keep the Dumb Cane plant away from children and curious pets

Roughly where are you located? UK? North/South? It's always helpful to know where a member is located because the advice would vary accordingly.

Well done on your surviving plants - I bet you feel dead chuffed (and so you should)

 

A very warm from me too.

You've certainly come to the right place for some help & advice.
Ask as many questions as you need to.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress in the garden .

 

Hello and welcome. Well done so far!

 

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for all the cool welcomes! This site is going to be very helpful.

@ Zigs - Yeah, I read about that Dumb Cane warning and it's in a protected space. I even wash my hands if I touch it. But it looks really cool.

@ "M" - Atm I'm living in the southwest USA and will probably be here for 10 years and maybe even more. The coldest night this winter was about -6C and we don't get very much snow. It only snowed once and that was less than a cm. Yesterday it was 22C and I think I'm in zone 7 or 8. I need to learn more about that. Also too much clay and sand in the soil but I've been fixing that with compost and bone meal. That helped a lot.
