    First of all hello, I'm Jake! Nice to meet you. I'm new to gardening but I have found myself watching YouTube videos on the subject and I have started some operations within my garden! Expect me to know little if anything about gardening and I have very little to work with. We'll apart from two hands of feet with a willing body behind them hahaha!

    Thought I would quickly drop by and say hello before I goto work!

    Peace

        Welcome to Gardeners Corner @Jake Fleetwood
        I hope you'll enjoy your gardening.
        Don't worry too much about knowing little, just have a go and see what happens. Sometimes it will work out well and other times it will be a complete disaster ... but we learn from our mistakes.
        I've loved messing around in the garden all my life and I'm still learning (and still making a mess of things :heehee: but it's not the end of the world ...)

          I do. I did a little gardening for my mother 50 years ago then moved on to golf. last year we moved to a new house with a big garden and my wife has inveigled me into the gardening and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

            Welcome to Gardeners Corner Jake.

            That's a good start, add some garden tools and you're well away. :)

            My garden of 4+ years is an ongoing project having almost retrieved it from nature. It's now starting to develop into something resembling a garden. :biggrin:

            Welcome to the forum Jake

            I am on the downward spiral, currently evaluating how I can make my space low maintenance as a silver surfer.

              @Michael Hewett i started some onions as a suggestion for my partner on the front, had to move a lot of stones to recover the soil under it hahaha, started off small and basic for now till i ramp up hahaha

              @Victoria thankyou :)

              @Jocko good lad! What you got going on any plants or really like?

              @Tomcat hello and thankyou :)

              @Sheal hahaha fighting back nature i heard can take its toll but apart from natures beauty who knows what els you could unravel and cultivate!

              @JWK low maintenance sounds bliss! I looked into doing hydroponics in the future for the same purpose lol, have you found/built anything along those lines?
