    Hello again to all you lovely gardeners out there!
    My name is Linda and I joined the forum a couple of years back.
    I'm ashamed to say that it has almost been a year since I last visited.
    Life just races by, doesn't it?
    To those who may remember (not me, just my big, mad trampoline in my green desert garden) Hello, I'm back !!
    I've had a lot of health issues over the last 3 years and they have been very, very slow to resolve. Currently, whilst I am a lot better, I still have a lot of residual discomfort in my neck and back and can't really dig or carry heavy items (I can't even keep the phone between ear and shoulder) Also, I am now rather tubby and very unfit. So, I've now started regular walking to build my fitness and stamina back and want to get back into the garden.
    Not to put pressure on myself or anything, but I've arranged a family get together to be hosted in the garden in mid May!
    Whilst it's not a massive garden, it's big enough when there is so much to be done. It was an overgrown, weedy, brambly nightmare when we moved in and the children couldn't even play out in it. We cleared everything out, but between health, weather and sheer lack of time, it is now starting to go back to the dark side. (as well as the masses of toys lying about)
    I've put some pix in my album, gardening maestros among you may need to cover their eyes, the rest can have a good laugh and a sigh of relief.Any advice welcome.
    This post is long enough now, so I will post my rough plans on beginners thread.
    Nice to be back,
    Linda
