    Hello everyone

    Just thought I'd introduce myself.

    I have a bit of gardening experience but I'd class myself as "entusiastic amateur" !!

    I'm in Suffolk and I'm looking forward to saying hello and having a bit of chat and banter with you all.

    Cheers

    :D

    Thank you ! Like the picture. I've been a member of several messageboards which used to be fun but have become a bit stale of late. I'm looking for change for a bit of a laugh. This place already looks like it fits the bill.....!

    Think you are in the wrong place Andy. We are all very serious about gardening and none of us like to laugh about it. And if you believe that, you will believe anything. Enjoy. [​IMG]

    Actually we are all serious gardeners but we all like to enjoy it and have a laugh. Welcome.

    Dee. If you think I am buying you a litre of anything in March on your visit to Scarborough then forget it. Half of lager is your limit. [​IMG]

    he he - yes, they are gardening MB's. I used to post on the BBC but got bored with the style, the excessive moderation and having to wait 3 minutes between posts. A few of the regulars were fed up with it so they set up a new board and I joined that. It's been great fun but lately has become a bit dull and stale. I love gardening but I also like to have a good laugh and a good "craic". I'm hoping that I'll find that here and can encourage a few of the other members from my other board to hop over here as well. I'll only invite the nice ones though !!

    Cheers

    Hi Fat Andy and welcome to GC from the Iberian Peninsula. [​IMG]

    You and I don't have a lot in common but that doesn't matter here. :D

    However, if you want to know about Med gardening ... ask pete, walnut, strongy et al ... and maybe I'll chip in a word or two. :rolleyes:

    Enjoy the forum. [​IMG]

    Yeah. I left well before that but I do keep an eye over there every so often. The whole thing was just a load of ****. There are a few posters on teh Beeb who spoil it for everyone, sadly.

    Thank you all for your welcomes. I'm still trying to find my way round the boards and catch up with the threads. There's certainly a lot going on here !!

    Cheers
