    Hello. Yet another new member joining! Late last summer we bought a new house with a little garden, in central London, so this is really my first year hitting the gardening game for real. And I love it!!! :) I am a total beginner but am working hard. So will most likely ask all you guys loaaads of questions. For this year I have mainly tried to sort out an old vine and an old kiwi they had in the garden. Cut them back quite hard. But went a bit soft on the vine, I will be tougher for next year. Will see how it goes. And I have moved a sad looking olive tree they had at a north-facing wall at the front of the house to a nice sunny south-facing spot in garden. I can already see the little buds coming and am looking forward to eating my own olives... Fingers crossed! Otherwise I just need to sit back to wait and see what plants are actually there from the previous owner. Quite enjoyable.

    Long intro, sorry!
    Now, better get working before my boss comes in... Happy to be here at Garderners Corner!

    Hi Zanna

    I'm just jealous of your climate.We live next to the sea and although it is beautiful it is b.... cold and damp. So I look forward to hearing about your vines etc as mine just die!! ! :mad: ;)
