    I'm Lindsay, lovely to meet you all! I'm a very enthusiastic but utterly novice gardener and I've just bought my first proper garden! (I think there's a house attatched to it somewhere, but I didn't pay much attention to that :-D). I will mostly be found in the beginners section asking lots of idiotic questions and not understanding the answers. Please be patient with me! This forum looks fab, hours of useful reading ahead...

    Hi Lindsay, welcome to Gardeners Corner:thumbsup: :snork:. They're a very friendly, helpful, and sometime mad, gang here. We have Gardeners from all levels of experience, from the outright beginner, the more experienced, the Allotment owner, the specialist, and with all sizes of gardens from balconies to a couple of acres.........but they all share advice and experience with a grin:snork:

    Hi Lindsay :sign0016: to GC - to start at the begining is a very good place to start - you sound very enthusiastic and that too is very good. As Armandii said something for everyone. Have a tour of the threads and enjoy.

        Welcome to GC, Lindsay :dbgrtmb:

        I'm sure you'll enjoy the forum :)

        As you're only half an hour from me I hope you may be able to meet some of the members at the end of May when I open my garden for charity. Quite a few members come over for it. More details in a month's time. :biggrin:

        Thanks Shiney, I love getting the chance to see other people's gardens. I like to be inspired, but also I'm nosey :biggrin: .
        Maybe I've just been on horse and chicken forums for too long, but this forum seems so friendly
        Edited to add, I also love the fact that I can finally make myself cool, just by pressing a button! <

          Wow Shiney, that's just the sort of garden I hope to have one day. I shall look out for your post nearer the time but if I miss it will you message me? Thanks!

          Thanks Jenny. I love the little dude at the bottom of your post, I haven't had a glass of red wine for aaaaaages and now I really fancy one...
