    Hi all, I'm busy finally tackling the garden, which has been left to run riot for about 3 years due to building work! It was well looked after by the previous owner of our house and I'm lucky to have a decent variety of shrubs and plants, although most have been rather neglected.

    I'll be playing the interesting game of 'weed or not' a good deal - currently it appears I have a great amount of lesser celandine (thanks Google for the picture identification feature!) and a good amount of forget me not (will it survive as a houseplant?!); and flowerbeds overrun with ivy (which is covering the fences, but has invaded the flowerbeds while we weren't looking).

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner.

      Sounds an interesting project sorting out the garden. Enjoy the garden and the association of this forums members.

      Welcome to the forum! We're a friendly bunch and always willing to offer advice. Me, not so much with knowledge as I am a perennial newby and still stumbling in the garden after 17 years.

      And I NEVER garden during Corrie! looking forward to the old days before the virus :) .. okay I saw Manchester and got all excited. ... again welocme to the forum :)
