    Morning all!

    Newbie here, looking for lots of tips to get greener fingers :)

    I'm very new to gardening, it's been a surprise as I had not the slightest interest until last year when I was presented with 2 tomato plants to grow, I guess I caught the bug! This year I've got loads of veggies and flowers, all in containers though as I've a tiny garden, mostly patio. Oh, and 2 large dogs, one of whom likes to pee all over the garden and wouldn't make for very nice tasting veg!

    Plenty of dopey questions to follow at some point!

              :sign0016: to GC @froot (love that name! :heehee: )

              We've all been "beginners" at some point, so dive in: read posts, post questions (and pictures! GC'ers lurve pictures) and enjoy :ccheers:

              You have two very handsome dogs there: as for the one who likes to pee .... raised pots for your veggies ;) :whistle: :heehee: NB: above cocked leg height will be just about right :doggieshmooze:

                Good morning Froot and a very warm welcome to GC x Once you have caught the bug there is no way back I'm afraid, I spent 52 years not giving a hoot about gardens or plants then suddenly bang! I can't get enough of it. Well you're in good company here! And you're not alone :roflol: Lots of knowledgeable folk will help you out with every aspect of your garden and you will make some good friends along the way. Enjoy your time here, I look forward to chatting with you. PS we have a pet section where you can post pics of your doggies

                    Lol - I'll tell you a secret, Froot is actually my name! Well, my married name is Root and my initial is F so Froot it is!

                    Yeah, it's the ginger one who pees on all my plants. The other one is my 'little' girl who likes to help with the gardening, especially digging!

                      I will definitely post some pictures of my two in the pet section! And they will probably crop up in lots of other pictures too!

                          Welcome to GC. A wonderful group of folks. And BTW, you can train your dog not to go in the garden.
