    Hi everyone, my name is Andrew I'm in my mid forties and have always enjoyed gardening but rarely had the time to "get stuck in" last year I decided to make a few changes and make time for the garden and a few other things in life. I bought a greenhouse (up to now it's been seed trays on window sills) and it's made a huge impact - I'm probably doing all manner of things wrong but it's still fun.
    My back garden is about 28 metres long (30 yards) at the bottom of which I keep two chickens and the front garden is 10 metres. All in all enough to keep me out of mischeif but not so much that it could become too onerous.
    I'll look forward to chatting to you, my skill levels dictate that I'll be asking far more questions than I can answer but, where I can, I'll be more than happy to help

                        Hi Andrew, welcome to Gardeners Corner.:thumbsup::snork: It sounds like you've made your mind up and done all the right things to get started in the garden. How about posting some pics of the garden and giving us all a description of your type of soil, what direction your garden faces, and what plants you like!!:snork:
