    I have only just joined this forum and those who have read my posts will know that myself and my partner are both disabled and have just got our first garden.

    WOWWWWW We have had a really great welcome to the forum and the members who have replied to my posts are very helpful.

    It´s been good to be made to feel very welcome. :gnthb::gnthb::gnthb::gnthb::gnthb::gnthb:




    p.s If anyone else has some spare seeds, pplants or cuttings to make this new ggarden a beautiful place I would be really grateful for them. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

    HI brightonboy

    Welcome to the forum. I know just how you feel about the gardening bug and also being disabled. I have found it to be a huge benefit to me.

    What sort of plants are you looking for? How many? Can you post a picture of your garden so we may be able to offer suggestions?

    If you get stuck on finding equipment to help you do your garden, please feel free to contact me as I have made quite a few tools to help disabled folk.

    Good luck with your garden.

    Chopper.

    Hi BB,

    Can't remember if i've said welcome before but welcome anyway.

    They are a smashing bunch on here, on account of gardening making people very mellow & in touch with the earth :hehe::cutflwrs:

    Set aside a portion of your lawn as a hay meadow, even if its just mowing a path thru the middle & roping both sides off.

    You'll be amazed at the plants that will grow up with the grasses next summer if they are not cut.

    Hi Brightonboy

    I have tons of packets of seeds which I got free with Amateur Gardening. I haven't room for any more plants, so if you'd like them, send me a private message with your address and I'll put them in the post to you.

    Hey Brightonboy. If you fancy some free (ish) seeds, pop over to the Cabbage growing competition thread!
