    Hello all,
    I'm a beginner gardener with a small patio and lots of enthusiasm. I'm not very knowledgeable though, so I've managed to kill quite a few plants in my short career. I'm hoping that you can help me avoid more heartbreak in the future.
    I'd really like to grow some of my own food (whatever I can in containers) and some ornamentals. Please look out for my posts about my plant woes and help if you can.

    Many thanks!

    Hi plantmom, welcome to Gardenstew from Chelmsford MA. Hopefully we can curb the mortality rate of your plants and have you grow something in a container that is edible.

    Hello Plantmom,
    Welcome to gardenstew….i'm new myself here and so far members have been lovely and friendly :)

    Life's a learner and that goes for plants...I've had a few die on me in the past but they've had to be replaced, so it's a learning curb for us all and it doesn't matter how many years you've been at it :whistling:
