    Hey guys, I'm Max and I live in Melbourne at the moment. Some people say that I'm too young to be a gardener because I'm 24 years old but I like to prove them wrong. I've been into this for the last 10 years.

    It all started with my mother buying me a bamboo plant. She told be to take good care of it and I sure did. Anyway, enough with the personal stuff.

    If you are interested in anything from lawn care to landscaping I'd be more than happy to help! :-D

    Hi Max and a warm welcome to GardenStew from Scotland.
    You're never too young to enjoy gardening and I'm glad you enjoy it so much.

    By the way my youngest son is staying with his God parents at the moment in Melbourne.

    Welcome MaxSchau, I just love your Avatar. Every gardener should be layed back and that is what you seem to be. Patience is most important.

    Enjoy your stay here. Please let us see what you are growing.

    So where is Melbourne? If this seems like a silly question, you will learn, I don't always see my nose in front of my face at times. :D :D

    Hi Max,

    Welcome to GardenStew from Chelmsford MA, USA, to distinguish it from Chelmsford, QLD. If you can put a seed into a pot of soil and water it and watch it grow then you are old enough to garden. Whatever you want to try we can sure help. Or just ask questions, we can answer those too. Glad to have you with us, welcome aboard.

    Jerry

    Absolutely... not! :-D
    Sorry to bring this to you but I don't own neither a crocodile nor a kangaroo!

    P.S. No koala either!
