    Hello there,
    Moved to SW France in 2007 and am just turning a bit of ancient French farmland into a garden...at least the bits that haven't been squashed by heavy plant!:cry: My poor plants have been stuck in pots for 2-3 years but thank goodness I brought them over with me.......gardening is horrendously expensive over here! And the compost is, well, don't want to be vulgar in my very first post, so ******* will have to do:hehe:.
    I was a professional gardener in the UK..lucky enough to spend 13 years doing what I love most, but nowadays find the sheer physical effort hard going. Enough!!! Sorry to drone on:o Look forward to 'meeting' you all.
    xx

    Hello noisette .. nice to have more mainland Europe folk here.

    Gardening is cheap and easy here in Portugal fortunately (ie, meter high shrubs / plants costing about â?¬5 or less) .... so I thoroughly enjoy it and am doing tropical as well as sub-tropical so that's a big bonus from the UK.

    Enjoy the forum.
