    Hello everyone!!

    Just wanted to introduce myself really as I've just joined.

    Have been into gardening for the past three years now since I was 22, so I'm fairly new to all of this and I still have A LOT to learn. In my first two years I primarily focussed on a few propagator trays, and over the past few years have branched out to several greenhouses (some at my sisters house as space is limited), and started experimenting with cuttings and bulbs last year (I'm trying to ease myself in, and learn as I go along). I currently have a north facing rear garden, and south facing front garden, and look after a small garden and woodland area for a friends parents (this is my real experimenting ground!!).

    I look forward to all the advice and skills I can gain from this site, and hope that I can only get better :) As a fairly youngish gardener (no offence intended) I find it difficult to get advice etc as I really do get the impression that they aren't taking me seriously because of my age!! I have even been to one garden centre and asked for some advice regarding pruning and was told to 'ask my mum!.'

    Thanks again, and I'm sure you will see me posting around this site :)
