I've just joined.....

Hello, Although I am retired and I am somewhat restricted with Arthritis, however, I still try to use my garden to the best, hopefully satisfying my wife, children & grandchildren (they're always around summertime for fresh garden produce and BBQs). I try to get a mix of different vegetables, flowers and shrubs and it keeps me busy.
I am not an experienced gardener at all but I love still learning. I regularly watch Gardeners World & Beechgrove Garden at weekends and find them both informative. I have two raised beds (soon to be three) for salad items, summer & winter crops of vegitables, grow bags with a couple of varieties of potatoes. Sadley, my soil generally is very clay ridden but we can all get over that, can't we?

 

Hi Derek..welcome to GC

 

Hey Derek Welcome to GC

 

Welcome to GC I hope you will enjoy it.

 

Welcome!

 

Thank you for the very kind 'welcome'. It was so nice to see that you're from my home city although I haven't lived there for forty odd years now.

 

Thank you Lynd for your very kind welcome, I've still got to get around this site to understand everything about it. There are some terms I don't understand yet but no doubt, I'll catch up.

 

Thank you silu for your kind welcome. Once I get my head around some of the terminology I should be OK, I look forward to corresponding with many of the members, when I've got the hang of the terminology.

 

Thank you for your kind welcome Lucyjin, I look forward to getting to enjoy the forum.

 

Thank you Shiney for your welcome; love your little quote/ditty. Nice to see another member of the grumpy old mens club, I'm one also according to my wife.
