    ...another newbie! Hurrah!
    I just bought my first house and am very very excited about the prospect of getting stuck into the garden. I have absolutely no idea what i am doing and quite frankly am probably a danger to the poor thing...that's why i've signed up here, i shall bore the pants off you with question after question...is grass the green stuff? Can you eat mud? That sort of thing. :confused:

    Welcome carrie,

    I'm new to this gardening thing aswell, its really fun. You'll love it when your first flower blooms and first seeds germinate and all that.

    Hi Carrie!

    I'm a new home owner too - isn't it great! [​IMG]

    I look forward to hearing your garden plans and seeing the progress.

    I find the best thing to do is be the epitome of the experimental gardener (that's what I call myself, anyway) and just give everything a try [​IMG]

    Hi Carrie,

    A very warm welcome and congratulations on your first new home :D

    I along with everyone else on the forum will look forward to helping with info in any way we can [​IMG]

    Tip: always keep an eye on the exchanges section as i along with many others from time to time have seeds etc to give away. I have some Cordyline seeds and windmill palm seeds on there if you need/want any.

    Have fun :D

    Hi Carrie always nice to have another newbie although we do have our very own 'Newbie' Newbie Green that is!

    Bet you're dying to get 'stuck-in' just remember to wear old clothes because you do forget yourself and get pretty mucky...which adds to the fun although does look too attractive looking like a jungle woman!

    I have a great recipe for mud pie you add loads of worms, a little slightly satled slug or two,one crushed snail and a little bit of water, a dash of relish, a oxo cube and a nice pastry top and sling it in the oven at 180 for 40 mins...oh dear that's my secret steak and kidney pie recipe! :eek:

    Welcome to our wonderful friendly forum I'm sure you'll join in the fun and maybe even get an idea or two for your garden!
    Helen.xxx

    Hi Carrie and a very warm welcome to GC from me also, as you can see some of us have a good scence of humor as well.
    Maybe you could give Helen a few tips on cooking lol.
