    Hi all
    I'm Paul from Kent. I'm in my mid 40s and thought its about time I started getting into this gardening lark.
    My Parents were great in the garden, mum loved her roses and dad was a professional gardener.
    Sadly I didn't show any interest and missed out on a great education, but I hope to make a start this year.
    Bye for now!

            Lovely to have you tag along with us :)

            Ah, now, you may *think* you didn't have the education, but I believe you would have picked up a bit of this and that (even if only subconsciously) from your parents along the way. Reckon it will come back to you too - at odd moments! ;)

            Looking forward to getting to know you around the forums :)
