    Hello G C thought I'd introduce myself with a few pics of our patch. Its not that big but here's a few piccies to give you an idea of what we have. Im now retired and hoping to make a few changes to the garden over the next few years, hopefully to include a pond.

    Wouldnt be without it now Dendrobium. Wanted one for years and now Im going mad with seeds and cuttings. Think I went just a bit OTT this year as I sowed the whole of the packets and then found I ran out of dirt :eek: :D

    Hi Maggie & welcomr to GC!!!!

    You have a beautiful garden!!! and I also love your greenhouse. We are getting a new one in the autumn, I would love a wooden one, but they are a bit pricey, so we are looking at green ones. Do you mind if I ask where you got it from? We are just a few miles from you just before you get to Portsmouth!! Small world!!
