    Firstly sorry for the topic title but I couldn't resist :biggrin: swiftly moving on....

    Hello all! Glad to be here.

    I came looking for advice from anyone who would be happy to enlighten me (everyone here seems real down to earth and friendly).

    Firstly a bit about me, I've drifted in and out of Gardening Jobs a lot in the past (Landscaping and Maintenance) and last year I started to to undertake garden maintenance work for friends of family etc and now a year later it's taken off quite well through word of mouth and I've dropped my main job to part time and registered as a sole trader.

    So I'm here seeking advice on how to improve myself as a gardener to progress and actually have a job I can actually put my heart into.

    All advice is hugely appreciated! And thanks for taking the time to read my post.

      " 'cause I wonder where you are
      And I wonder what you do
      Are you somewhere feeling lonely?"

      I think you've answered most of this :heehee:

      If you ask more specific questions we should be able to come up with lots of answers. :blue thumb: Most of them contradictory. :roflol:

          Hi Jarvis,

          Welcome to Gardeners Corner :)

          @Sheal did he really have a plot :)

          Mind you, he should be a little better after he's took his 10 o'clock specials :)

            Anyway, the plot thickens!!! :snork:

            @Anthony Rogers It's all that gunpowder and treason - I remember it well :old:

              why don't we start a thread where we have to use only song sentences to answer?

                Good idea, but why not add famous (or not so famous) quotes as well?

                  Also. That would definitely widen the horizons. Than, can I put there, also quotes from books...(we would have to remember to mention the source).
