    Hi

    Thought I'f introduce myself. I'm Rick and have just discovered the wonders of growing things. I have a heavily landscaped garden so the only space I have to grow anything is my newly acquired walk in plastic greenhouse. please accept my apologies in advance of any stupid questions I may ask

    Hi there Rick welcome to the forums I'm sure you will have many a friendly chat here.

    Don't worry about asking silly questions none of us know everything about gardening although I'm sure most of wish we did. :D

    I used to live near you on the Riddings estate when I was little (back in the day!)just across from the library on Willoughby road.

    Just thought I would say that.... small world, once again WELCOME. [​IMG]

    Ola Rick and welcome from the warm and sunny Iberian Peninsula.

    I probably won't be able to assist you with too many of your "sensible" questions because my gardening scenario is vastly different than yours, but there are lots of folk here who will be able to help.

    In the meantime, enjoy!

    Hello Rick from me too. :cool: You'll learn a lot here and have some fun too. :D However, you probably won't get any gardening advice from me - still learning myself - the hard way [​IMG]

    Hi there Rick,

    Don't worry you couldn't ask any stupider (new word [​IMG] ) questions than me.

    Know anyone else that thought it might be a good idea to grow pampas grass all down the side of the garden? :confused: :confused: [​IMG] [​IMG]

    A warm welcome and enjoy
