    As discussed in our PM @herbs&flowers - welcome to GC :sign0016:

    The rest of the gang will no doubt be along very shortly to introduce themselves, and if you need any help just give one of the staff team a shout, the staff are:

    @ARMANDII
    @wiseowl
    @Marley Farley
    @Zigs
    @Webmaster
    and of course, little old me.

    By placing the @ symbol in front of someone's username on a thread, it sends them an alert telling them that you have mentioned them, to draw their attention to the thread.

                  I've just posted some pictures of my garden, guys! To explain, I have very little ground, & that 4m x 70cm patch is overshadowed by a north facing wall. I grow topiary there - box, yew, bay. Everything else is in bags as in the pictures. All photos were taken in 2014 & the garden has grown out a bit more now.

                      Welcome to GC herbs&flowers. :) You've certainly made good use of the wall, how do you go about keeping the plants watered?

                      @Sheal : Auto-watering. Other than that, constantly up & down ladders!

                            Where in London are you @herbs&flowers, if you don't mind me asking - - I am guessing fairly central looking at your pictures?

                            @fat controller : Nearest Tube Notting Hill Gate.

                            @shiney : Where's this?! How do they feed it?! The proper green wall systems have nutrient enriched water through the pipes.
