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.

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?

Why not do some posting now you know whats what. Any gardening problems? Any
expertise you want to share? Just say hello and let us know what you grow.

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.
