relocated newbie

My 'sporting life' was cut somewhat dramatically short, and after a good few years of hoping against hope and generally floundering in my spare time, I suddenly caught myself watching Gardeners World and... GULP!... Enjoying it!!  So, here I am, about 2 years [or growing seasons] down the line and full of enthusiasm. I'm hoping that some of you good folk might help with some of my mistakes and, who knows, I might even have the confidence to share advice with some of things that have seemingly gone right. Umm, always assuming I know why they've gone right, of course! Sorry to hear about whatever it is that curtailed the sport but you've found yourself a wonderful new interest. Yeah, don't worry, I'm not going to bore anyone rigid with my tales of misfortune, it was simply my way of briefly saying how such a positive effect the discovery of gardening had on me. Something that I really hadn't expected. Actually, my first ever visit to a garden centre was also nearly my last. It was around two years ago, last February... I wandered into a local garden centre and bumped in to - and bear in mind that they were also both there independently - my father and his brother! Both were walking with the aid of stick following recent similar surgery... It was like some horrific glimpse of my future life arriving too soon. I almost ran out of there screaming! The people here are mostly very friendly and the pooled knowledge is fantastic. 'Mostly'. Uh, noted. Thanks.  I'm certainly looking forward toexpanding my knowledge in here. There's only so much you can glean from reading books. [In fact, as good as some of the books can be, I've often found they raise just as many questions!] Dave and I live in South Devon (Torquay and nr Totnes, respectively) and others live in Bristol and also in Devon. I'm in [north] Bristol too. Ask away and don't forget the archives in Google carry a lot of good info, too. Welcome to urg! Thanks for taking the time to respond, Sacha. I've actually movedthis follow-up to a new thread, as I thought I might get lost in the spam-deluge one. Right, I'm off to post my first urg question. -- Flower Bobdew South Facing Garden South West: UK |
