    Hello all
    Thank you very much for allowing me to join your forum.
    I am just beginning to learn about gardens now.
    I have come to live in England from Spain where we live in flats/apartments so I have no previous experience.
    One thing I love about Britain is the way people generally live in houses and have lovely little gardens.
    My front and back gardens are a complete mess and I am gradually trying to find out how to work with them to make them pleasant.
    Gardeners here in Britain seem to charge splendid prices! I wonder why I bothered to go to university and become a linguist!! I am a translator and spend far too m much time at the computer so I hope as the weather improves I will find I can enjoy my gardens more.
    I am very sorry that I cannot contribute much helpful advice but will try to keep you posted on my efforts.
    Once again thanks for letting me in.

    Hi Spanishgardener,

    Welcome to the forum, and to a new interest that may very well become an obsession.

    Hello Spanishgardener. Welcome. Patience is a must with gardening but the payoff is worth it.
    Have a great time here.

    Welcome Spanishgardener. Everyone starts off knowing nothing. But the more you listen and chat the more you learn.

    Welcome to the forum Spanish Gardener.
    I hope you enjoy your garden. It can be a great way to get to know your neighbours. Just speak to people you see in their gardens - they will love to talk about their gardens with you.
