    Hi there,

    I had my first garden at the age of 8 years, and I can tell you that is quite a long while ago. Both my children and two of the grandchildren are also keen gardeners, it's sweet music to my ears when they ask for my advice.

    Photographing flowers in my garden and mounting the pics onto hand made cards is a favourite hobby.

    Thank you for inviting me into Gardeners Corner, I look forward to meeting you [​IMG]

    Ola Brandy and welcome to GC!

    I don't "do" houseplants because of my location. I live in an old house with little light so it's not feasible.

    I do love my garden however but I may not be of much help to you but there are lots of folk out there who can assist.

    Hope you enjoy our site.

    Hello Lady of Leisure - I don't do houseplants because I kill them off, our place gets too warm.

    Lovely place Portugal, we had a grand holiday there when the grand children were small, it was so hot.

    Hubby and I have a small garden, easy maintenance, good if we are to get to play on our puters for hours on end lol

    Thank you for your warm welcome, that's nice [​IMG]

    Hi Lady of Leisure, thank you for your kind welcome. A lovely part of the world you live in, had a holiday in Portugal when the children were younger - I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new friends in CG

    I certainly am very interested in what I've seen so far
