Hello everyone, I've just joined because I love my garden and want to learn all I can. I'm going to sit back and read untill I find my way around. Think it might take me a while ... :-)

I don't know what you think you have 'joined'. This is USENET and anyone
is free to read and post here - no membership required (or indeed,
possible). Anyway, welcome new poster :)

BTW sitting back and reading is known in USENET circles as 'lurking', so
welcome new lurker ;)

However you connect, you're welcome here. Lurking is fine but don't
hesitate to ask questions or share what you've got going in the garden!

If you do have a question then do say where in the UK you are, and if it
will help then a link to a picture will also help.

Hello
 

and tell us where you are in the country, it helps because of different
weather extremes.

I joined GardenBanter and it brought me here. I've not been here long enough to be a lurker yet...

At least they have their own method of putting a photo link up. However I do
understand that they don't make it easy to follow a thread, can anyone that
uses Gb confirm that or not?

Welcome Shiraz. When you're ready, do tell us all a bit about your
garden, including where you are and your soil type. As you can see from
my sig line, I am on heavy London clay. Most of my planting is
decorative, using both flowers and foliage to create the sort of
borders/beds I enjoy. I also plant for bees, butterflies and other
insects. Apparently, I also plant for slugs and snails :~(. The veg
plot is tiny - and heaped with junk from other jobs at the moment - but
I am growing potatoes and rhubarb. In another (decorative) bed, I'm
growing a wall-trained plum tree. There is also a raised cascade pond
with fish in the top part and marginal/bog plants where I can cram them in.
