    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum...as you probably guessed.

    My Dad is a very keen gardener and my Grandad was a market gardener and I think my Dad was always a little dismayed at my lack of gardening skills or desire.
    For many years my garden was the overgrown heap in the back that the children played in, I rarely went out there! anyway long story short, I finally caught the bug about 2 years ago, had a shaky start at a few veg the this year had a fantastic crop, bought a greenhouse and seem to be out there all the time.
    My particular favorites this year have been my fuchsia's and penstamens, which I have sucessfully grown many cuttings from and in the veg patch I had a great crop of leeks...amoung other things
    Well, now that I have bored you all with my life story, i'd better go and carry on wishing for spring!
    :)
