    I have recently retired, having spent 50 odd years doing either no gardening at all or just mowing the lawn and pulling up what I thought was a weed. Now I have more time and intend to spend more time in the garden trying to either grow or identify (or both) more things. I needed somewhere to ask silly(?) questions so maybe Gardeners Corner will fit the bill? In the meantime ... hello everyone :new:

        Welcome to the forum!

        oh no, is there a silly question I missed asking? Just kidding, there are no silly questions and this group are very helpful.

        Enjoy the forum!

          Welcome aboard @Tremers :sign0016:

          You'll get tons of great advice on here, as well as friendly banter and a few giggles along the way. Just remember, the only 'silly' question, is the question that you DON'T ask...... so please don't be shy about asking whatever you need to know.

          We are a nosey bunch too, so photos are always welcome so we can see your endeavours :blue thumb:

          PS - consider putting your location into your profile as it helps others see where you are in the world, and might help them give better advice based on your soil type and climate etc.
