Hi all. Have lurked for ages in Gardenstew and have found many solutions to various problems, but I thought it was about time I registered! My gardening experience dates back to when I was very small and used to help my Dad plant stuff in the garden. At the age of four it was limited to pulling up the odd flower mistaken for a weed and looking for worms and other mini beasts underneath his gnomes! But, I gre up helping Dad plant stuff and even though he is no longer with me, I can still hear his voice saying the plant names when I look at them in the garden centres! I had a dry spell where I didn't garden, but now I help look after my Father-in-Laws' garden, which is huge. So much land I don't really know what to do with it. Last year we were just re-claiming the land that had been given over to nettles and bindweed, but this year, I've actually got some plants growing where they are supposed to! Hubby and i even built a rockery (of sorts) in which I have lots of Saxifrage doing rather well! Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all and to exchanging ideas. You can be sure I'll be asking for a lot of help!! Jackie
Hi Jackie, I'm a newcomer myself, and so far everyone has been so nice and friendly. It is really good to be able to share a common bond with people from all over the world.

Hi there Jackie. So glad you're now 'one of us'!!! You do realise though that once you register here at GardenStew you'll become an addict just like us in no time at all.
Thanks for the warm welcomes ... Yes, having lurked for a while I know that there is a lot of fun to be had in here as well as a wealth of information to be willingly and gladly shared. I hope to be able to post some pics soon, but in the meantime I will feast my eyes on everyone elses plots and hopefully get some inspiration. Cheers again, I'm looking forward to chatting with you all - in fact, I'm off to make my first propr post right now!! :-D
