    I'm pretty much a novice gardener and am learning as I go along! We've recently moved into an old house with a large neglected garden so have spent the last 9 months clearing nettles and brambles and pruning overgrown fruit trees. We're starting to think about planting now so will be on a very steep learning curve. All advice will be welcome.

      Hi @NessaJ70 and welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016:

      The first advice I would offer, is take your time and accept that you are going to be playing a 'long game' when it comes to gardening. You will get tons of support and advice from the gang here, they really are the best people you could choose to know - you have already met our resident rose expert, @wiseowl, and there are many others such as @Sheal who is great with lawns etc, @Zigs who does trees, wildflowers and foraging, @Silver surfer who can identify just about anything, @KFF who has forgotten more than I have ever known about fucshias, and there are many more.

      We love photos too, so please don't be shy about showing off your hard work.

        That's a great welcome, thank you :). I can see that this garden will be a long game and I must learn patience! Lovely to know that friendly advice is at hand.
